Moms Mabley - You got a mouth! Speak Out and Speak Up

Another great clip from the film Amazing Grace.
You MUST sit and watch this film with your family.
Especially if you know what the 70's were all about.

Let the words and wisdom of Moms Mabley reach deep into the souls of all of us and bring out the truth that humanity is the legs and the thighs of God's Great Chicken. She spoke in terms of race because of the racism of the day, which was massive. All God's children.

I was a child when she revealed the truth that the adults were lying to the children. Turns out she was right. They are still lying to the children. I pray that stops soon.

GOD BLESS MOMS MABLEY WHEREVER SHE IS IN THE UNIVERSE.

This is to me the best darn scene in the WHOLE movie; Moms is making this speech for these young folks to support this mayor and hon, it's the delivery. Sadly, Moms died not long after this. and you got more folks out there that don't know squat on this lady but if you want to know, LOOK HER UP! then get a copy of this movie like I did and fall out like I do from time to time. be blessed.

MOMS MABLEY {1894~1975}

In real life, her name was Loretta Mary Aiken. Also, a little known fact was that she had been a lesbian since the age of 27.

SeeDebi Morgan from All My Children fame at 3.36-know those dimples anywhere! Great post awesome words which still resonates otday! Comedy don't have to have profanity or Afr. Americans portrayed in an ignorant light! How I miss those presence of those wise gramdmama or nana types today. They need to be revered. And nothing beats talent Go MomsMabley!
