This week on Not Just Music Podcast, we’re shining a light on Scott’s Rosenwald School. The Rosenwald Schools were schools for black children in the late 1800s and early 1900s, when segregation was the law of the land. Scott’s Rosenwald was located in Iredell County, North Carolina, but there’s not a lot of history available about it. We still want to raise awareness about this important part of our past and hope that someone can come forward with more information. Our goal at Not Just Music Podcast is to preserve black history, and that means the most to us.

So if nothing else, hopefully everybody's again, had a blessed weekend.
Having a blessed top of the week.
(00:43):
Yeah.
Easy to get distracted going into a Monday,
but at the same time, it's a great time to be alive still.
So hopefully we can
come to a good conclusion for that.
How's everything, sir?
Everything good, man.
Personal life, good health, good.
(01:06):
You know, life is good.

What's happening, man?
How's everything on your end?
Everything's well.
Everything's well.
What's up?
Back in.
(01:26):
1866, there was a.
School known by Scott School for blacks.
Again, Scott's schools or Scott's school for blacks.
It's known for this situation.
(01:48):
It is really another Rosenwald school.
Of course, I'm deep in Rosenwald schools.
Since we've been speaking on the nature of Rosenwald schools
and where Rosenwald schools meant to the black community.
Of course, I had to find another one that was worthy of speaking of.
(02:11):
But this one was called Scott's School for blacks or known as
Scott's Rosenwald.
It was opened in 1866.
This one was actually opened a little earlier than a lot of the
other ones that I was speaking on.
But this is it's a significance to why I'm speaking on it.
(02:32):
I'm going to get to the point here in a minute.
It's just speaking on how history gets erased so easily,
get swept under the rug so easily.
On.
Just being black and get swept under the rug so easily.
That's the easiest way to say it.
But keep moving on it on.
(02:54):
Reverend S.C. Logan and Reverend
Sidney Merklin of Logan Presbyterian Church organized the school.
W.C. York constructed the three room wooden frame schoolhouse,
formerly known as Scott's School in 1926.
Right.
Just to show you how long it was actually around before they actually built.
(03:17):
So you're talking about a span from.
1866 all the way to 1926.
So.
Moving on.
Scott's was one of the last Rosenwald schools to close in
Iyerdale County.
In 1968.
(03:38):
Currently, the building serves as a community center hosting events
for those that live in and around Scott's community.
Now.
The.
Aspects of this come down to a couple of things.
One being when you were interviewing.
(04:03):
Lisa Moser, one thing I listen, one thing I pay attention to a lot
is the stuff that she was speaking on that was monumental for blacks.
But not only being something monumental for blacks, something that's like
really.
Monumental, but forgotten, meaning you don't have any pictures.
You don't have any.
(04:24):
You don't have any marks to make it seem as if it OK.
This is a standing.
This is something that was that meant something to black people.
For a long time, but you remember you remember part of the interview I even
said I'm trying to visualize it.
Like, you know, when she said all the blacks, the segregated school, you know,
(04:45):
yeah, I was sorry to cut in, but yeah, I was just making your point where.
Yeah, I was right.
Could we have no pictures of it?
You ain't got no images of it.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah, so easily, easily things can get forgotten.
And of course, if you never seen something that's not seen can be forgotten.
So.
(05:06):
You know, I already a county.
I see it's a lot of stuff that happened in I.R.Dale County and around I.R.Dale
County, but a lot of the stuff that happened around and in I.R.Dale County
was documented in a sense of like there's no pictures.
There's not a whole lot of history on this whole lot of writings on it.
On, you know, just to say that there that could be a bunch of unsung heroes.
(05:31):
In the I.R.Dale County in I.R.Dale County, that never have been
ever have been accounted for or appointed.
Can I say, I just talked to one yesterday.
I spoke on it a little bit to you, but I'm, you know, some podcasts in I'm thinking about,
you know, exposing that even trying to get her own on a home.
(05:54):
So, you know, like, you know, and telling her story, basically about Bellmount, you know,
an area where I was born and stayed a partial of my baby life when I was a kid, you know,
to my mom moved out her mom.
So it's a lot of history in Bellmount, Kimbrough Park, which is another historical place to
(06:17):
lend like down there in Bellmount.
So, you know, it's a lot like you say, it's a lot of unsung heroes like in your city,
people you don't even know.
That's why I just wanted to follow up that, you know what I'm saying?
Yeah.
But, Jay, it's those things that we don't see, read about, you know, if it ain't much history about it,
(06:41):
or if it may, I mean, it could be a little bit of history about on some things.
I mean, some things you can search, but a lot of things you cannot just like pull up a picture
or just like do a Google search and just look for it and find it.
Sometimes it takes a little so a little more deeper looking and searching and putting certain
things in perspective as far as like saying, OK, this is monumental or this meant something
(07:07):
at a certain time.
But if the details are small, we won't ever know like the whole depth of understanding stuff.
For example, like one thing that people do forget about.
Don't forget about hard copy books, man.
Don't forget about books that that, you know, we have a lot of history, but I think a lot of the history is hidden in books and stuff like this.
(07:33):
This is this is the biggest problem.
And I'm saying that because a lot of us as blacks fear reading fear stuff like this.
So we'll overlook a lot of stuff and it'd be a hidden gym.
That's what makes it a hidden gym, because if you put it in a book form, you know, you can you can eventually get it to somebody that could pass it on to somebody, which this was purchased by my grandmother, who's then gone.
(08:01):
And the situation where somebody gives you history or leaves history behind, this could have easily been thrown in the trash.
It could have been easily burnt.
This could have been easily just, you know, anything like that.
But I'm actually glad that it ended up in my hands in a sense of, as I say, just for the community that listens to us, that pays attention to us.
(08:23):
Right.
Like that's the whole thing of getting better.
Just like when I speak on like doing podcast and get better, like make things better.
Like, you know, what are you doing doing your growth and development process of like your your niche or your your your, you know, what it is that you do.
Like how, how well do you, you know, take the notes, you know, put things down and, you know, to give to somebody else because it easily can be given to somebody else.
(08:52):
But at the same time, it could be a thing of it could be taken in throwing away as well.
So the thing is, you want to get it into somebody's hands that could pass it on to the next person that could pass it on to the next person.
The only way we can keep history going is if we keep talking about it.
In the case of it's not to say to the tier, the people that are now people that are now fine.
(09:13):
They're being documented because the case of we got YouTube, we got Facebook, we got Twitter, we got all these platforms, we got websites, we got all this stuff to where we are documented.
But the thing is, the people that are responsible for us can't have that same access.
So that's why I try to make it a sense of urgency to like speak on certain things because if you don't speak on it is not going to give it power.
(09:41):
If you're not going to give it any energy.
And can I say something?
Can I say something though?
The people that can speak on it.
And I want to put this out there because we're going to keep it 100.
The people that can speak on things like this and actually lived in those times need to keep it 100.
I got so I told you about I went to event a June team, you know, and I like it's like it's like the older generation was up there talking and it's like, if we're going to keep it our way black, we got to keep it our way strictly black.
(10:16):
And we got to tell the Pacific details of what happened and we can't sugarcoat nothing to try to make any other race or anybody feel good.
Like the truth is the truth.
We can't rewrite history and we can't rewrite something to make people comfortable.
You know, I'm saying we got to tell it like it is.
(10:37):
And that's what I have a problem with with a lot of black people older people that have their position now that have these cameras and have these outlets now to use.
When you got it man, tell the tell the raw truth because people like me and you we want to see we want to hear the raw truth.
We don't want to hear something that's like sugarcoated or there's something that they know we want to know our history, the real history.
(11:03):
So, like, I mean, Juneteenth was a day, you know, that was a day for blacks, you know, and our pain and what we went through and we came out of something.
You know, it wasn't anything to unite white or black or nothing like that.
That was our day that we, you know, free Fred, we were free free.
You know, I'm saying so that's another thing I want to throw into if you're going to educate people.
(11:29):
Just tell the truth. Be 100. You know, I'm saying be 100 about black be 100 about our history.
Other than that, you doing this, like you're not doing justice. You know, I'm saying.
So to bring in a good good reason why it's important on.
(11:51):
Let me pull up this picture because it's been some people take the time to recognize things and I want those people to be recognized for speaking up on these.
Situations where these people meant something to somebody and then they want to display that it meant something to somebody. So.
(12:12):
This is this is a mural that was put together for and on behalf of the school that was that that that Scott's Rosenwald school, of course, Scott's school for blacks.
To do the short read on this, this is a mural of Scott Rosenwald Park.
(12:41):
Celebrate the history of Scott's Rosenwald school and longtime principal Charles W. Rankin. And this is in states for.
Using a $4944 grant from North Carolina Arts Council, I'd L County contracted with local artist Joey deal to create a mural at Scott's Rosenwald Park located at 1374 Scott's Creek Road in states for.
(13:14):
That honors the legacy of Charles W. Rankin and the Scott's Rosenwald school Scott Rosenwald Park opened in 2014.
On the former site of Scott Rosenwald school since that time the park has been a place for residents to enjoy outdoor recreation opportunities or celebrate or celebrate special occasions in the community building.
(13:40):
The recently completed mural illustrates the historical importance of Scott Rosenwald school by highlighting the influence that its final principal Charles W. Rankin had on the education and the county so this is something that I want to say to blacks.
It just shows you how much circulation of black people were successful or successors in the 1900s, early 1900s, going into the mid 1900s.
(14:11):
So as I say, a lot of times a lot of the blacks weren't able to learn. So to have a black man operating a school and making sure that everybody's on point and getting the teachers that they need was a very big deal.
The, let's see where we are, we're yet the artists wanted to show the character and faithfulness of those behind the history of the school because of the sacrifice and devotional people like Rankin.
(14:41):
The school rose to new heights and had a lasting impact on Scott's community.
Through depictions of learning resilience and unity, the mural serves as a touching reminder of the school's legacy.
So this is why I say it all it takes is one person.
(15:08):
It takes one person to say somebody's name takes one person to show somebody's face. It takes one person to introduce somebody.
And then that's all it takes. So for the case of we have to realize that a lot of these points that we talk about when it comes to these schools.
It's very, very, very, or any schools just importance of just talking about history. Now I want to show this one last thing, which a lot of people probably won't understand is what I mean by how things change along the years.
(15:42):
So this school, again, one, one, evidently, we needed a school like this, but I want to show what this situation what happened with this situation real fast.
So this is where this school, let me see if I can get this picture to come up. See if it allowed me to bring it up. Yeah.
(16:13):
So do you all see this area? Do you see what's going on here?
I see that if I think I should be able to see that what you see is a housing development. And the reason why I'm saying this.
(16:34):
It almost was forgotten about in the smallest sense.
A lot of people don't know history. But if you know history, if you look at things and the way things are moving and the way people place themselves in situations with history and explain it again.
(16:55):
If nobody said anything about it, probably nobody would ever know that this was a school.
This has something to do with black black influences and people in the stateful area, people in the county area, you know, it's a big deal to me for one big reason is because these are the these are the people that gave us life.
(17:18):
These are the people that brought us into this world. And some of your friends, some of your friends, friends were related to these people and they probably don't even know about them and don't even speak about it.
And it's not a thing saying them pointing out a bad to say that it's their fault. It's not their fault at the end of the day. It's nobody's fault.
But it's up to this new generation to correct and embrace those things that did happen in the past.
(17:46):
No longer in the situation again.
Speaking on black history is something that has to be done that needs to be done.
It doesn't take a whole lot doesn't take a whole lot of misunderstandings to get to that point of understanding it. And just like when I was telling you all on the last home home so you know, and this is the answer question to about podcasting.
(18:13):
If you're doing this situation and podcasting, just remember originality is everything originality is everything and utilizing every tool that you have to push the brand.
That's a that's a key factor. A lot of us miss when it comes to a brand.
Use every aspect of a website that a website website gives you tools for a reason they give you tools to be able to utilize and push the brand the correct way.
(18:44):
If you do it the correct way, you will definitely be rewarded for it. It's not a thing of that it won't come. It definitely will come. Just sitting be patient.
And like I said, continue to be finding a way to be original versus just copycat and writing the tales of everybody else is doing something and just riding away.
It could get you a very quick high, but it could come down very fast. If you don't watch what it is that you're trying to do again.
(19:11):
You just riding copycat situation that could go very, very, very fast. You know, but at the end of the day, you want to find something that's wholesome to you and your soul, something that makes you feel good, something that, you know, speaks to your spirit and something that way you can grow.
Like I said, growing learn, you know, say reading, writing, all that stuff like that. All of that should come from being a great individual also, but also as a business.
(19:35):
And so, you know, you can't just be a entrepreneur. You know, a lot of the times that we we under looked and undershoot the aspects of just being original.
Remember, stay in a creative lane to push something forward. You know, instead of just holding yourself back because I'm the stop letting the finances get you because it's not a financial thing.
(19:56):
A lot of us possess the tools that we already need, which is not working. We're not taking advantage of we're not pushing them. We're not pushing it like we could, you know, yeah, we busy.
Yeah, we want to live life. Yeah, we want to do all those other things. Yeah. But just at least make a couple hours a day and put some time into that that brand that needs you.
You know, so we're talking about people that want to do this right.
(20:17):
People that want to do it and that already done because some people are in a position where they have websites and and and they really sleep on their own brain.
And, you know, like the case of like with, you know, if it's a thing of understanding, you know, a lot of people don't know some people are stuck with a website.
(20:38):
It's don't know where to go next. You know, so I mean, just again, you got to continue to grow. You got to continue to find other ways, you know, there's a spark for something.
There's a spark in any manner what you're doing is always a spark. Thank you. You just got to keep digging until you find that spark.
But no long when man, I'm just talking to to to inspire to motivate. Never to discourage. Never to discourage because a lot of people still wishing they could be in this position.
(21:06):
And I'm trying to figure out like, you know, why I want to be in a position like this and you could be better than this, you know.
But again, if it's if you're looking at this as a big thing, that's a blessing, you know, that's a real blessing from God, because it is it's not under look.
In any manner, because I mean, say if somebody asked you how to do something, that means you must be doing it at a level that it needs to be done.
(21:34):
Other than that, we can come in.
What you got coming anything other than us black history folks talk man, we just.
I wanted to talk about black love and I'm loving the black love that's being spread out here more man.
(21:55):
You know, a lot of a lot of black love being shown being displayed, you know, I'm saying I went to the Juneteenth thing and it was nice seeing the black folks together.
You know, I think those are pictures we need images we need in our head. You know, more like men and women getting along too man and stop being so divided.
(22:17):
You know, shout out to my lady.
You know, everything good.
Black love is great.
You know, saying that and we all got to come to the conclusion that we all need each other.
A black man needs a strong, strong black woman like a strong black woman needs a stronger black man.
So I just want to show spread love to the black love that's going on out here.
(22:40):
I will be starting filming the weekend.
Quincy Murdoch the movie part two.
Currently, I am looking for more actors.
You know, I'm saying as the project goes on.
And if not just this project of the projects that I have.
So yeah, Quincy Murdoch 44 gmail.com.
(23:01):
If you interested all your actors out there, hit me.
So closing website.
Appreciate the subscribers that's coming.
Definitely.
(23:25):
I'm trying to make sure I got everything on my brain as far as yeah, everything as far as the the is a.
There will be a little slight difference in website in a few weeks.
I'm going to switch up how I'm doing a couple things.
I'm going to start doing like an early release on certain episodes and stuff like that.
To those that subscribe.
(23:49):
Also, I have a ebook ready to go.
It's only one sheet.
It's only one form, but that'll help those that need that reading formula for starting a podcast.
Video is kind of sort of coming.
I just it's a lot to put together with the video is just easier to put it in black and white.
(24:12):
But again, I do have those ideas still to come.
But again, we appreciate everybody that continues to rock that continues to listen.
They continue to download.
I mean, this means a lot to do something and it's accepted.
So for those that are consistent, those that are consistently listening, definitely got a shot.
(24:35):
Child out because the case of it's not taken in any small manner.
Those that are all across the country because it's not just in the country is out the country as well.
So those that are in the country and those are outside the country.
We definitely appreciate you taking the time to listen.
Taking time taking the time to view or whatever it is that you do.
(24:56):
And lastly, we have one month left before some or two months left before summer is over with.
Some of the time is definitely a time that I definitely want to do things.
But again, due to how hot it's been and due to how weather is crazy to do certain things.
(25:20):
But of course, just trying to find a certain thing to do is still in the works.
It's not over with, but it's still in the works.
Just did just deal and stick and be patient with us.
Other than that, that's it.

This is this is the biggest problem.
And I'm saying that because a lot of us as blacks fear reading fear stuff like this.
So we'll overlook a lot of stuff and it'd be a hidden gym.
That's what makes it a hidden gym, because if you put it in a book form, you know, you can you can eventually get it to somebody that could pass it on to somebody, which this was purchased by my grandmother, who's then gone.
(08:01):
And the situation where somebody gives you history or leaves history behind, this could have easily been thrown in the trash.
It could have been easily burnt.
This could have been easily just, you know, anything like that.
But I'm actually glad that it ended up in my hands in a sense of, as I say, just for the community that listens to us, that pays attention to us.
(08:23):
Right.
Like that's the whole thing of getting better.
Just like when I speak on like doing podcast and get better, like make things better.
Like, you know, what are you doing doing your growth and development process of like your your niche or your your your, you know, what it is that you do.
Like how, how well do you, you know, take the notes, you know, put things down and, you know, to give to somebody else because it easily can be given to somebody else.
(08:52):
But at the same time, it could be a thing of it could be taken in throwing away as well.
So the thing is, you want to get it into somebody's hands that could pass it on to the next person that could pass it on to the next person.
The only way we can keep history going is if we keep talking about it.
In the case of it's not to say to the tier, the people that are now people that are now fine.
(09:13):
They're being documented because the case of we got YouTube, we got Facebook, we got Twitter, we got all these platforms, we got websites, we got all this stuff to where we are documented.
But the thing is, the people that are responsible for us can't have that same access.
So that's why I try to make it a sense of urgency to like speak on certain things because if you don't speak on it is not going to give it power.
(09:41):
If you're not going to give it any energy.
And can I say something?
Can I say something though?
The people that can speak on it.
And I want to put this out there because we're going to keep it 100.
The people that can speak on things like this and actually lived in those times need to keep it 100.
I got so I told you about I went to event a June team, you know, and I like it's like it's like the older generation was up there talking and it's like, if we're going to keep it our way black, we got to keep it our way strictly black.
(10:16):
And we got to tell the Pacific details of what happened and we can't sugarcoat nothing to try to make any other race or anybody feel good.
Like the truth is the truth.
We can't rewrite history and we can't rewrite something to make people comfortable.
You know, I'm saying we got to tell it like it is.
(10:37):
And that's what I have a problem with with a lot of black people older people that have their position now that have these cameras and have these outlets now to use.
When you got it man, tell the tell the raw truth because people like me and you we want to see we want to hear the raw truth.
We don't want to hear something that's like sugarcoated or there's something that they know we want to know our history, the real history.
(11:03):
So, like, I mean, Juneteenth was a day, you know, that was a day for blacks, you know, and our pain and what we went through and we came out of something.
You know, it wasn't anything to unite white or black or nothing like that.
That was our day that we, you know, free Fred, we were free free.
You know, I'm saying so that's another thing I want to throw into if you're going to educate people.
(11:29):
Just tell the truth. Be 100. You know, I'm saying be 100 about black be 100 about our history.
Other than that, you doing this, like you're not doing justice. You know, I'm saying.
So to bring in a good good reason why it's important on.
(11:51):
Let me pull up this picture because it's been some people take the time to recognize things and I want those people to be recognized for speaking up on these.
Situations where these people meant something to somebody and then they want to display that it meant something to somebody. So.
(12:12):
This is this is a mural that was put together for and on behalf of the school that was that that that Scott's Rosenwald school, of course, Scott's school for blacks.
To do the short read on this, this is a mural of Scott Rosenwald Park.
(12:41):
Celebrate the history of Scott's Rosenwald school and longtime principal Charles W. Rankin. And this is in states for.
Using a $4944 grant from North Carolina Arts Council, I'd L County contracted with local artist Joey deal to create a mural at Scott's Rosenwald Park located at 1374 Scott's Creek Road in states for.
(13:14):
That honors the legacy of Charles W. Rankin and the Scott's Rosenwald school Scott Rosenwald Park opened in 2014.
On the former site of Scott Rosenwald school since that time the park has been a place for residents to enjoy outdoor recreation opportunities or celebrate or celebrate special occasions in the community building.
(13:40):
The recently completed mural illustrates the historical importance of Scott Rosenwald school by highlighting the influence that its final principal Charles W. Rankin had on the education and the county so this is something that I want to say to blacks.
It just shows you how much circulation of black people were successful or successors in the 1900s, early 1900s, going into the mid 1900s.
(14:11):
So as I say, a lot of times a lot of the blacks weren't able to learn. So to have a black man operating a school and making sure that everybody's on point and getting the teachers that they need was a very big deal.
The, let's see where we are, we're yet the artists wanted to show the character and faithfulness of those behind the history of the school because of the sacrifice and devotional people like Rankin.
(14:41):
The school rose to new heights and had a lasting impact on Scott's community.
Through depictions of learning resilience and unity, the mural serves as a touching reminder of the school's legacy.
So this is why I say it all it takes is one person.
(15:08):
It takes one person to say somebody's name takes one person to show somebody's face. It takes one person to introduce somebody.
And then that's all it takes. So for the case of we have to realize that a lot of these points that we talk about when it comes to these schools.
It's very, very, very, or any schools just importance of just talking about history. Now I want to show this one last thing, which a lot of people probably won't understand is what I mean by how things change along the years.
(15:42):
So this school, again, one, one, evidently, we needed a school like this, but I want to show what this situation what happened with this situation real fast.
So this is where this school, let me see if I can get this picture to come up. See if it allowed me to bring it up. Yeah.
(16:13):
So do you all see this area? Do you see what's going on here?
I see that if I think I should be able to see that what you see is a housing development. And the reason why I'm saying this.
(16:34):
It almost was forgotten about in the smallest sense.
A lot of people don't know history. But if you know history, if you look at things and the way things are moving and the way people place themselves in situations with history and explain it again.
(16:55):
If nobody said anything about it, probably nobody would ever know that this was a school.
This has something to do with black black influences and people in the stateful area, people in the county area, you know, it's a big deal to me for one big reason is because these are the these are the people that gave us life.
(17:18):
These are the people that brought us into this world. And some of your friends, some of your friends, friends were related to these people and they probably don't even know about them and don't even speak about it.
And it's not a thing saying them pointing out a bad to say that it's their fault. It's not their fault at the end of the day. It's nobody's fault.
But it's up to this new generation to correct and embrace those things that did happen in the past.
(17:46):
No longer in the situation again.
Speaking on black history is something that has to be done that needs to be done.
It doesn't take a whole lot doesn't take a whole lot of misunderstandings to get to that point of understanding it. And just like when I was telling you all on the last home home so you know, and this is the answer question to about podcasting.
(18:13):
If you're doing this situation and podcasting, just remember originality is everything originality is everything and utilizing every tool that you have to push the brand.
That's a that's a key factor. A lot of us miss when it comes to a brand.
Use every aspect of a website that a website website gives you tools for a reason they give you tools to be able to utilize and push the brand the correct way.
(18:44):
If you do it the correct way, you will definitely be rewarded for it. It's not a thing of that it won't come. It definitely will come. Just sitting be patient.
And like I said, continue to be finding a way to be original versus just copycat and writing the tales of everybody else is doing something and just riding away.
It could get you a very quick high, but it could come down very fast. If you don't watch what it is that you're trying to do again.
(19:11):
You just riding copycat situation that could go very, very, very fast. You know, but at the end of the day, you want to find something that's wholesome to you and your soul, something that makes you feel good, something that, you know, speaks to your spirit and something that way you can grow.
Like I said, growing learn, you know, say reading, writing, all that stuff like that. All of that should come from being a great individual also, but also as a business.
(19:35):
And so, you know, you can't just be a entrepreneur. You know, a lot of the times that we we under looked and undershoot the aspects of just being original.
Remember, stay in a creative lane to push something forward. You know, instead of just holding yourself back because I'm the stop letting the finances get you because it's not a financial thing.
(19:56):
A lot of us possess the tools that we already need, which is not working. We're not taking advantage of we're not pushing them. We're not pushing it like we could, you know, yeah, we busy.
Yeah, we want to live life. Yeah, we want to do all those other things. Yeah. But just at least make a couple hours a day and put some time into that that brand that needs you.
You know, so we're talking about people that want to do this right.
(20:17):
People that want to do it and that already done because some people are in a position where they have websites and and and they really sleep on their own brain.
And, you know, like the case of like with, you know, if it's a thing of understanding, you know, a lot of people don't know some people are stuck with a website.
(20:38):
It's don't know where to go next. You know, so I mean, just again, you got to continue to grow. You got to continue to find other ways, you know, there's a spark for something.
There's a spark in any manner what you're doing is always a spark. Thank you. You just got to keep digging until you find that spark.
But no long when man, I'm just talking to to to inspire to motivate. Never to discourage. Never to discourage because a lot of people still wishing they could be in this position.
(21:06):
And I'm trying to figure out like, you know, why I want to be in a position like this and you could be better than this, you know.
But again, if it's if you're looking at this as a big thing, that's a blessing, you know, that's a real blessing from God, because it is it's not under look.
In any manner, because I mean, say if somebody asked you how to do something, that means you must be doing it at a level that it needs to be done.
(21:34):
Other than that, we can come in.
What you got coming anything other than us black history folks talk man, we just.
I wanted to talk about black love and I'm loving the black love that's being spread out here more man.
(21:55):
You know, a lot of a lot of black love being shown being displayed, you know, I'm saying I went to the Juneteenth thing and it was nice seeing the black folks together.
You know, I think those are pictures we need images we need in our head. You know, more like men and women getting along too man and stop being so divided.
(22:17):
You know, shout out to my lady.
You know, everything good.
Black love is great.
You know, saying that and we all got to come to the conclusion that we all need each other.
A black man needs a strong, strong black woman like a strong black woman needs a stronger black man.
So I just want to show spread love to the black love that's going on out here.
(22:40):
I will be starting filming the weekend.

It's only one form, but that'll help those that need that reading formula for starting a podcast.
Video is kind of sort of coming.
I just it's a lot to put together with the video is just easier to put it in black and white.
(24:12):
But again, I do have those ideas still to come.
But again, we appreciate everybody that continues to rock that continues to listen.
They continue to download.
I mean, this means a lot to do something and it's accepted.

(24:56):
And lastly, we have one month left before some or two months left before summer is over with.
Some of the time is definitely a time that I definitely want to do things.
But again, due to how hot it's been and due to how weather is crazy to do certain things.
(25:20):
But of course, just trying to find a certain thing to do is still in the works.
It's not over with, but it's still in the works.
Just did just deal and stick and be patient with us.
Other than that, that's it.
