Occupying Minds Occupies Delaware

(0 votes)

February 11, 2012, was a monumental day at the Edgemoor Community Center in North Wilmington, DE. The "Occupying Minds" event sponsored by Artistik Designs, Inc., Hensekh Bak Re and Knowledge is Power Radio, was an overwhelming success. This event featured a Panel discussion of many things, but followed a specific format. First of all, a true history of the Indigenous people on the continent of America given beautifully by Mahiir Tarik Bey. Mahiir is originally from Dover, now residing in Wilmington. He is the co-host of Knowledge Is Power Radio on Wednesday nights at 9:30pm; which can be heard at www.blogtalkradio.com/knowledgeispower and is founder and operator of Artistik Designs Inc. Secondly, an awesome breakdown of the current state of mind and error in thought was laid out by the illustrious pioneer, Taj Tarik Bey, of Philadelphia, PA. Taj has been a pioneer in the Moorish Science Temple of America for quite some time, unselfishly devoting his time and effort to open the minds of the people. He has works in Camden, NJ as well as PA and a host of other states speaking.

The next speaker was Sabir Bey, formerly of Philadelphia, PA, now residing in Los Angeles, California. Sabir was featured on the historic "Hidden Colors" documentary, and host his own blogtalk show "Civil Alert Radio." He and Taj were on a multi-city tour from Atlanta to New York, and took time out to assist at the Occupying Minds venue. Sabir gave a heart felt discussion on various subjects such as holistic health, inspiring the youth, learning from and taking care of elders, and also mentioned actor Tyrese, who came to Delaware not long ago. While here, Tyrese spoke out on the air during a 101.7 Kiss FM interview about issues in Delaware, mainly the amount of liquor stores in proximity to school zones. Tyrese was told on the break of the show, if he did not apologize on air, his music would no longer be played on 101.7 Kiss FM. Tyrese replied, "So what!" This was felt among everyone in the room, and Sabir called for Delawareans to stand up and have a voice in the community.

Next was the dynamic lecturer, Hensekh Bak Re, of Philadelphia. Hensekh is also co-host of Knowledge Is Power Radio, and was very instrumental in the arrangement of the Occupying Minds Event. He demonstrated his knowledge of the doctrine and of a multitude of authors, including Dr. York. His bibliography was extraordinary and gave much insight into solutions that people could implement to bring forth a more harmonious society. Bro. Hensekh also freely took on many questions in the Q & A segment of the Panel. He was followed by the Grand Governess Abundance Child of Wilmington, who gave an excellent summary of organizations she has been instrumental in building and working to better the community. Lastly, Bro Kemitu Bey, of New York, spoke briefly on Parliamentary Law, but with such power, it immediately launched an array of questions from the crowd. There were several vendors at the event, such as; 5Linx Telecom, Dvd's, Books, and food products. If you missed it, they will be back in the community again, so stay aware. Peace and Life.
