We, (The Selma Dean Team of T.E.A.M.S. in Spirit LLC), stand in solidarity with the world-wide community in protest of the violent and criminal acts done in the “name of justice” against men and women of color. The recent killings of Mr. Ahmaud Arbery and Mr. George Floyd are the latest in the centuries-long lynchings of Afro-American people.
Furthermore, as one born in 1954, I am more than exhausted from the discrimination and injustices aimed at my people. My Afro-American husband, brothers, sons, and grandsons should no longer have to fear for their lives even while complying with law enforcement officers.
Thank you to the beautiful rainbow of people standing together and peacefully protesting the horrific police killing of Mr. Floyd. I’m also grateful for my police family members and friends who risk their lives to enforce the law. Yet, they extend equality and exact justice as they serve.
Meanwhile, please continue marching in the footsteps of Martin while standing on the word of God. “For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword…” (Hebrews 4:12)
We love you.
Selma & SDT

Dr. Dean,
Thanks for another inspiring message. I believe the WORLD has visually seen enough, and GOD’s SOLDIERS are ready to bring the changes peacefully!
Thank you for this. Mark 12:31 “Love your neighbor as yourself.” I can relate to the hurt that been afflicted on us as people. We are all God’s children and we are called for greatness. God said if we love one Him we should follow Him and obey His commandments and that is to love one another as we love ourselves.
God uses bad situations for the good of those that love him. When my brother was beaten by the officers that came to our house, it was a bad situation and thank God that his life was spared, but I can see the good that has resulted from it for my brother’s sake, God used it for his good.
Mayeen, thank you for sharing your experience. Praises to God for bringing good out of your brother’s horrible experience.
