Oh lord....

One reason for the formation of is preservation of legacy.

A change is gonna come.

Yea,
though We walk through the valley of the shadow of death
We will fear no evil
We will fear no cowards
We will fear no infested waters
We’ve been swimming with gators
Since you used us for bait
Since you hung and burned
our soul mates
Since you labeled us three fifths
Since you lashed us with whips
Since Black codes
Jim Crow
Segregation
Great migration
Black belt
Red lining
Food deserts
A forever moving finish line
And yet we still dive in
Teach our babies how to swim
The swamp has never been drained
You are jealous
That we can dance
on your mud
And remain pristine
make art from
Our scars
Songs from our screams
Defeated because
We melt manufactured ice
Hope when you surround us with hate
That’s why our solidarity
Makes you tremble
And your cowardice
Makes you hide your face

A Black Woman
Sitting on a bus
An echo
A reminder
Victory will always be
The righteous’ fate

Sci-Fi has brought us some fine fightin' minds and fantastic officers. We are big fans of Star Trek and all of its incredible diversity.

Sign located at Five Mile Cemetery in Dallas, Texas.

Notice the sign includes hoodoo?
Hoodoo has a rich history, especially when it comes to cemeteries and graveyards. Everything from the dirt, bones of the dead, clothes, trees, animals, and gravestones is used in Hoodoo. There are certain rituals performed there as well, such as one to rid oneself of warts or to retrieve the correct black cat bone at midnight.

-In hoodoo, there are specific beliefs that trees belong specifically to the graveyard, such as the weeping willow. It's believed that it's bad luck to plant one in your personal yard, or else it will grow so big and cast the shadow of darkness, causing bad luck.

-The graveyard bunny is considered good luck, especially the hind leg, but you cannot execute the bunny in any kind of way. There is a specific way to do so.

- Divination is done at the graveyard at times to consult the oldest spirit there as well.

- Graveyard snakeskin helps you conquer your enemies. Or using the grease of a graveyard snake helps with protection. Even consuming the graveyard snake can increase wisdom.

So you see, you never know why a Hoodoo may be in the graveyard or cemetery.

Also, I don't think the sign worked; there's already a headless chicken at the gate 🤷🏾‍♀️
