Dr. Adelaide Sanford is a nationally-recognized educator, at the very least, and countless people pretend to be her friends. Yet, those pretenders will be absent from the battlefield when I put a list of demands on the table of New York State Attorney General Andrew Cuomo on Friday at 11:00 a.m.
With police terrorism running amuck in New York City, it should not be surprising that Black elected officials and leading Blacks have been afraid to put demands on Cuomo's table despite this teaching of Frederick Douglass: "Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will." We must honor our revered ancestors. Otherwise, we will remain chattel slaves.
On March 14, 2010, storm troopers of the NYPD unmercifully beat and punched Dr. Sandford's son and grandson in the Bronx. Her son is Dean David Sanford of Benjamin Banneker High School and his son is a college student in Buffalo, NY. They are now exposed to criminal records.
The NYPD must be put in judicial receivership. In addition, Gov. David Paterson has the constitutional authority to remove Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly from their offices. New York successfully sued Town of Walkill which was put in receivership.
Someone in New York must have the guts to confront Andrew Cuomo. By default, this responsibility has been put on my shoulders even though I am not a Black elected official nor a leading Black. In fact, the Black colony has turned its back on me for taking uncompromising positions.
On Friday, March 26, at 11:00 a.m., I will be at the offices of the New York State Attorney General, 120 Broadway in Manhattan. Someone, who is not scared nor bought off, must take a stand in New York for more than two million Blacks. Scared Blacks are always looking for a sacrificial lamb.
UAM Business Meeting: March 27, 2010 at 9:00 a.m. at the Cotton Club, 656 West 125th Street in Harlem.
