Marcus Garvey Symposium 2026

 

by C. Henry ADAMS


On March 25th 1917, roughly 109 years ago, Marcus Garvey gave a speech at Big Bethel AME Church in Atlanta, Georgia.

Who was Marcus Garvey?

Why thank you very much for asking.  

Marcus Garvey was born August 17th 1887.   For 59 years, he lived on Earth as a Jamaican political activist. 

The Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League (UNIA-ACL) is a Black Nationalist organization founded by Marcus Garvey in 1914 in Jamaica.

June 25, 1922, Mr. Garvey met with the Klu Klux Klan (KKK).   Really?  Yes, really.  Why?

He was interested in separating the black wealth from the white wealth and thought he knew the way.

But, what he failed to realize, was that all people in the United States of America were mixed. 

Check your genes.

I can hear someone, somewhere in America saying,  " Say what! "

• Mission: It continues to promote its original aims, focusing on black pride, community development, and education.

It's purpose:  To promote racial pride, economic independence, and Pan-African unity. Headquartered in Harlem by 1918, it boasted members worldwide, advocating for “Africa for the Africans” to establish businesses and achieve self-sufficiency.

It functions as a charitable, educational, and constructive society for the uplift of people of African ancestry, with active divisions.



For (3) years annually, Big Bethel A. M. E. Church located in Atlanta, Georgia decided to re-live his Marcus Garvey visit to the pulpit by offering a symposium.

3rd Annual Atlanta Marcus Garvey Symposium - Wednesday March 25th 2026 at Big Bethel AME Church 220 Auburn Avenue, NE Atlanta, Georgia 30303 Time: 6:00 pm EST

Kroger and Harris Teeter Subsidiary Connection

 

by C. Henry ADAMS

At the age of 56,  I find myself researching stock picks that I'm crazy enough to tell the World about on my blog.  Why?  To inadvertently seek advice or insight while testing a notion to invest.

That being said, it is my understanding the company Harris Teeter of North Carolina was acquired by the Kroger Company in 2014.   Since 2014, the Kroger Company stock price has climbed from $21.64 a share to $44.25 a share in 2024 and now roughly $75.60 a share in the year 2026.

So, what should I do?   Well, take the time to buy 1 thru many shares.

So, what do you think?

Is It Clear The Current Administration Is Actually Attacking OPEC

 Image is property of the CRS.

CHASS, LLC  took a picture of the United States CRS and shared it on C. Henry Adams Blogs


by C. Henry Adams


I often speak plainly in layman terms because, that is who I am. 

OPEC  is an acronym that stands for Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries.

Currently, we use petroleum to move things, people and the entire World.

The Administration that I boldly refer to is run by Donald Trump. 

The country of Iran produces 4,340 barrels of crude oil.

Is this real or a reality turned very bad?

In my professional opinion, both.

How do you envision World War 3 in your opinion? 

Just a thought. 

Writing Journals spur thought to make change.

Not Everyone Possesses Intestinal Fortitude So Stop

 

by C. Henry Adams

They say that having courage, endurance and deep seated determination is a sign of Intestinal Fortitude.  But, these attributes are not installed in every person, every group of people or state or even a nation. Therefore, stop!


  Now know when you stop.     Accept defeat.

What comes after defeat?      Death.

Are you ready for the story that I'm about to tell?

There was once a Minister and Congregation of People from  a Foreign Country who decided to live a better life.  So he decided to establish an organization to help people entering an unknown land and  thrive.
Then one day while working to help a child get an education in a nearby school, this Minister instantly fell ill and died.

By this time, the Minister had shared his thoughts with a Steward of another Church outside of his people to create an action.

That Steward, helped the Minister establish the organization and got it started.

But, unfortunately the Minister did not live to see the good it will provide.  Recalling that the Minister counted on one man in the Church to help the organization, the Steward tried working with the Man for years to no avail.

Finally, the Steward realized, the Man was not the person responsible for the action of the people.
It was the Steward who was inadvertently given the authority by God to help people.

Unveiling C.T. Martin Again? Why?

 

by C. Henry Adams

I asked the question in this manner.  Unveiling C.T. Martin Again? Why?

C. T. Martin attended E.R. Carter Elementary School which was once called Ashby Street Elementary School in 1943.  By 1944, the name changed to E. R. Carter Elementary School. 

When Clarence Terrell Martin & his Family moved to the 10th District,  I was a little boy in the 1970s.

 I don't remember much about City Councilman Ira Jackson, but since 1990 at the age of 20 years old,  C. T. Martin always stood out in my mind.

In fact, I became a fraternal brother of C. T. Martin & Prince Hall - Gate City Lodge Number 42 while visiting  Atlanta, Georgia.  In the early 1990s, I was truly honored to discover that Marion Lewis Adams, Sr and C. T. Martin both hailed from the same lodge as I became a member.

Mr. Martin was always considered highly educated and secretive.  To read that he was a graduate of Booker T. Washington High School where my Mother, Emma K. Smith Adams graduated from and my Father attended night school, greatly inspired me.

C. T. Martin was a legend that inspired other legends to come into existence. 

Particularly, the Honorable Andrea L. Boone.

Instead of mentioning C. T. Martin again. 

Accomplishments should go to Andrea L. Boone.

 A graduate of Frederick Douglass High School.   

 A graduate of Tuskegee University. 

 A  member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority. 

A life-long member of Rush Memorial Congregational Church.


The Honorable City Council Lady of the 10 District for the City of Atlanta, Georgia.

Spending Fat Tuesday (2/17/26) at the Georgia Capitol regarding HB 1063

by C. Henry Adams

My Grandmother, Mable Williams Adams and my Grandfather Henry Adams were born just a few years after the Georgia Capitol located in Atlanta, Georgia USA  and was completed in March of 1889.

Having walked, rode or drove by this place many times and rarely visited it since my youth, I really did not understand its significance until my middle age.

I knew the 1789  Georgia Constitution was a model of the United States Constitution.  It ensures conformity with the federal government, adopting a bicameral legislature, a stronger executive branch, and separation of powers.

What is a bicameral legislature.  Basically, separate chambers for the House and Senate.Well, on FAT Tuesday which is the last day before ASH Wednesday every year in the United States in my opinion,  we visited the Georgia Legislature to hear about HB 1063.

HB 1063 is a House Bill that " Electric utilities; protect residential and retail electricity customers from costs associated with data center construction and operation; require "

 

The image below is outside the legislature room where laws go through initiating, debating, and voting in legislation.
