Peace and Health Community, In this month of August we have pause to remember many past events in African history. From the bithday of the Honorable Marcus Mosiah Garvey(8/17), to the establishment of red, black and green as the official colors of U.N.I.A(8/13., to when Fannie Lou Hamer attempts to register to vote and loses her job as a fieldhand on a plantation(8/31), to Dr.Martin Luther King delivered his "I Have A Dream" speech(8/28), to the start of the Watts Rebellion in '65.(8/11) it is good to remember crucial events of the past for as Dr.John Henrik Clark tells us "a historical people cannot be oppressed".

I want to talk about today. Today there is a man alive who has done us an invaluable service for the African Community. He has found what is killing many people. 24 million people at last count of mostly African decent. His name is Boyd Edward Graves. Along with the Special Virus Flow Chart (www.boydgraves.com) he has unearthed dozens of documents of our own Government's origin, proving that 'shadow elements' within our own Government's infrastructure are the cause of much that is ill with the American Empire in actions towards people of African decent.

I write you today not to tell you what you may already suspect. I write you to demand a response of all forward thinking people who won't allow another pathmaker to die alone in dissolution and bitterness.

HE IS VERY ILL WITH THE AIDS VIRUS. HE IS AS OF 8/10/01 IS ON 24HR A DAY MORPHINE ALONE WITH NOBODY TO HELP HIM. I sent him money to bring food to his house that has no gas to cook anything. He will not survive if we Africans don't support his health and research. Go to his web site and buy what you can to provide him with your financial support. Call him (330 744-5955) or Joel Bales his assistant in Kansas (785 263-1871) and have them direct you on what would be best. He is at a critical stage. He the best person to direct the attack on this issue. Please do what you can. If there are those in the Youngstown,Ohio area who can go by personally to assist him, please do. I am in NYC and have no current means to visit him but as soon money can be raised I will. We in the NYC area must pool our resources to send what we can. Please contact me at 212 491-1936 or thickwoods@hotmail.com Go to the web site and convince yourself. Act, for the time is short. Abeeku Ohene
