Be Amended is a call to wake up and be a whole person. We, the Black community, have for too long suffered from the Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome that has kept us from being whole. 5/5 whole. I will never again be thought of as three fifths of a human being, nor should any other person. Listening to a song by the artist Common entitled It’s Your World sparked the notion for this piece. We ARE the people spoken of in those documents that were part of the creation of this country. The piece of work was so cathartic in so many ways.
