The issue of having rejected the offer of $5 million, is not an answer or dissemination of information. It is a reminder to me, and only me, that if I forget history we are lost. The Dr. Barnes Art Trust that was controlled by Lincoln University, has an estimated value of more than $30 Billion. Dr. Barnes’s Trust stipulated that Lincoln University would control the appointment of 4 of the 5 trustees. Lincoln University accepted a bribe of $50 million to vote (Illegal pursuant to the Trust) to increase the trustees from 5 to 9: 5 can outvote 4 any day of the week. I am not a rocket scientist, but $50 million is less than one-forth of one percent of $30 Billion. The individuals offering the bribe, set the $50 million figure prior to the offer to Lincoln. It is shameful that they knew before the fact that Lincoln would accept the $50 million....
Recently I was informed, “There will never be another Dr. King.” As much as I loved and respected Dr. King, that is not correct! There will never be another Harriet Tubman: she led us out of slavery. Dr. King was an incomplete copy of the pastor he replaced at Dexter Avenue Baptist Church, Reverend Vernon Johns: the father of the Civil Rights Movement. Vernon Johns was active in civil rights before Dr. King was born. But, in 1952 he was fired as pastor for being too radical, and Dr. King was hired as his replacement. Thereafter, a little known seamstress refused to relinquish her seat, and the rest is history.
Today, Dr. King would not exist for two reasons. First, “everyone” has discovered that we will give up our seat for a nickle or a dime. The “Seats” of power will never expend precious resources when pocket change can resolve a conflict. Last, Dr. King existed because as a people we made a decision to die rather than accept the one-fourth of one percent of a single piece of silver. How many pieces did you say JUDAS received..., if those ROMANS had known what seems to be know in this country.
