I learned of Plummer's passing (January 15, 2023) through an email sent to me today which included the following article published in Our Time Press. This is an important article. Plummer's passing did not get national coverage, but she deserved it. A Google search shows coverage by Indie Black-owned publications -- which we have to support (subscribe to one). If you are from the New York City area, you will be familiar (or should be) with many of the names mentioned. These are the people on the front lines fighting for us, not just locally, but globally. Mainstream media will completely ignore our true warriors in favor of rants of dysfunction Black celebrities--giving them outsized influence distorting how we, as a people are viewed and even how we view ourselves.

They clearly don't have faith the size of a mustard seed.

Looked like a scene out of a Denzel Washington American Gangsta movie....lol. Brutha man marched up the street.....opened the door....and walked in with his head up like, "Alright.....WASSUP!!! Where my money at?????" The only thing missing was the screams and glass breaking.....LOL. Then check out how he was looking at the reporter during the interview...... He was looking at him with one eyebrow raised like Frank Lucas was looking at Nicky Barnes when he came to his club to pay him a visit....lol.

That's a d8mn great question. If any *missing* books exist, I'd bet they are either in the Vatican or some other white-controlled repository.
