Godalmightythelord: If you were to listen to the entire story about the Hands of Martha Rainwater you will find the story filled with triumph and the strength that permeates the soul of black women. One of our problems is that we are ashamed of the tragic period in our history where we demonstrated the most courage and the most strength. We should embrace our history and not run from it. It was our strength that built this country.

Thank you my brother. We have developed these anecdotal stories, combined with historical facts into interactive learning CD's that will hopefully bring some light to a people who have long been kept in the dark.

Very powerful! I believed that we need our youth exposed to this type of creative story telling. Along with the images, we begin to create a movement for our youth to be interested in , and to understanding our rich history. Thank you Brutha!
