Review of the Mecca-Mass Family Day

Peace,

The Mecca Mass 40th Anniversary Family Day Celebration was magnetic. If you missed it don't fret, as The Chosen Few Youth Mentorship Program http://www.MeccaMassStreetAcademy.ning.com will be having up coming events throughout Western Massachusetts so keep your ear to the street and do the knowledge.
Just a lil history, we celebrated 40 years of the teachings of Almighty God Allah still being seen, heard, and felt in the streets of Springfield. The Gods and Earths have given all that they have and all within their power(literally) to uplift the youth and teach them how to be positive and productive young men and women in society. This was two events in one. We also celebrated our Annual Family Day in honor of Tabar Allah, one of the greatest Gods to walk these streets, who gave his life to see Allah's World Manifest as it has and continues to each and every day.
The event kicked off with Justice Allah on the one's and two's, bringin that feel good make you wanna dance music of the 80's, 90's, and today's top hits. Nothing commercial, just real live hip hop, funk, and R&B. Power Allah had the grill rockin and made people wanna poke their heads in to see what was going on. You know ain't nobody turnin' down no free BBQ. Tamari Allah set up the projector and played recordings from our Family Days of the past(84-Present), giving viewers a glimps of how long we have been teaching and building in Springfield, and the positive results of it. The babies of that era who now have babies of their own laughed as they watched themselves dance, run relays, bob for apples, and just be kids.
Even though it was only about noon, we had a full house and everybody was having a good time. Justice put on a dance contest, and the babies did their thing. "$5 to the first to show me their best stanky leg". And it was on. "That don't stank, put some stank on it." lol, they had a ball. Around the culture hour Father Naheem Allah from Black Medina and The Youth and Police Partnership of Boston put on a short play, geared toward the young in attendence. Showing them how trying to be that "dude" and that "chick" could put you in a position where you could lose your life or the life of a loved one behind trying to be other than your own self. The impact it made was felt with a standing ovation, not just from the young but from everyone in attendence.
Shortly after, Dumar Wa'de and Aleem Allah gave us a glimps into the past and made us aware of their trials and tribulations in teaching who the blackman is and how important having a thorough knowlegde of self is in these days and times. Tamari and Myron Allah followed up with current issues and the importance of taking the best part of the day home with you, and I ain't talkin BBQ chicken. All the babies in attenence got their choice of a free book and there was plenty of paintings, books, t-shirts, hats, and memorabilia for sale at less than normal prices. The event started at 9am and ended at 11pm. Nothing but friends, family, fun, socializing, and education. It was one of the greatest days this city has ever seen, and I am honored to be a part of it. And like I said, if you missed it don't beat yourself up about it. We get together every friday afternoon if your ever in the area and would like to add on, and soon we will be having more events coming to a hood near you. So keep your ear to the street and do the knowledge.

And with that said, I'mma say Peace!

Wise Teacher Allah
