Beloveds,
Earlier today I attended Legendary African American Journalist Gil Noble's funeral at Abyssinian Baptist Church in Harlem. Randy Weston, Leon Dorsey and more than ten drummers dressed in white offered beautiful musical tributes.
There were heartfelt testimonies from many, including Rev. Dr. Calvin Butts, former Mayor David Dinkins, Dave Davis, WABC President, City Councilman Charles Barron and Dr. Leonard Jeffries who spoke of the Family's Love and great sacrifice in sharing Gil Noble with the World.
Susan Taylor, Danny Glover, Gil's daughter Lisa and attorney of 20 years, Joseph Fleming made touching tributes. Minister Louis Farrakhan in speaking about Gil offered beautiful life
wisdom and said "There is No Retirement. Stay At Your Post As Long As You
Can!".
If you would like to help continue the Legacy of "Like It Is" donations can be made to the Gil Noble Archives, P. O. Box 43138, Upper Montclair, NJ 07043

Gil Noble the Prince Has Ascended! We Honor Him! Peace, Rev. Melony McGant

Gil Noble Ascension/Archives
Melony McGant, poet, storyteller, humanist and world lover of children lives on HOPE; works to breathe in love, and exhales fear (false expectations appearing real).
She says "Perhaps our current challenges are wake-up calls for our collective awakening to truth."
And she believes that the truth is, there is no need for our constant bickering, our disdain for eachother, for wars and killing, for world hunger, massive disease, for discrimination, subjugation, or oppression.
She maintains that LOVE, even on a rainy day, is the answer to our dreams, our individual quests, and our future collective identity. "If we can learn to value our children, our elders, ourselves, and our Mother EarthHeart, then surely we have the power to impact society and to create a world filled with JOY."
