Moms Allyship Against Racism

William Ross Wallace famously wrote, "The hand that rocks the cradle is the hand that rules the world."

This 1865 poem celebrates motherhood as a powerful force for change, and I couldn't agree more. That’s exactly why the MAAR platform focuses on how mothers act as "change agents," using their influence to create lasting progress in racial relations.

If moms really do shape the nations, then we can definitely be the ones to change hearts and minds to make the world a better place.

Our philosophy is simple: "Changed hearts change minds and behaviors."

Moms Allyship Against Racism (MAAR) is dedicated to raising children with empathy, compassion, and respect for all ethnicities.

Our Facebook group brings community, resources, and support together in one place. We’re here to uplift the human spirit and build the empathy and understanding we need for everyone to thrive in love, respect, and justice.

We believe racism is a toxic mindset that we need to overcome.

MAAR: ARTIVIST Nina Simone Nina Simone wrote "Mississippi Goddam" in September 1963 as a direct and furious response to the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing in Birmingham, Alabama, which killed four young Black girls, and the assassination of civil rights activist Medgar Evers in Mississippi.The Breaking Point.

Today September 24, 2026, the lyrics and outage of NIna Simone still resonate TRUE. True in the condemnation of the injustices for/and lack of accountability in the death of Nolan Wells and countless of other black and brown youth in America and, this being truly outages!
Our kids lives matter!

🕯️ Say their names. Remember their lives. Demand answers.These families deserve justice, truth, and accountability. No case should be forgotten. No life should become just a statistic.

Today MAAR remember four innocent lives stolen on September 15, 1963: Addie Mae Collins, Denise McNair, Carole Robertson, and Cynthia Wesley.

Just days before the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing, Governor George Wallace chillingly declared that to stop integration, Alabama needed "a few first-class funerals."

Sixty-three years later, the grief remains deep—compounded by the painful reality of watching the hard-won rights, legal protections, and voting power our ancestors bled for be systematically eroded, revoked, and dismantled.

I honor their memory by refusing to stay silent or let their sacrifice be stripped of its meaning.

Today we remember four innocent lives stolen on September 15, 1963: Addie Mae Collins, Denise McNair, Carole Robertson, and Cynthia Wesley. 🙏🏽

MAAR Commemorates The Lives Lost in The 16th Street Baptist Church bombing

"Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that"
-~Martin Luther King Jr.~

Today we solemnly commemorate and reflect on the lives of Carole Robertson, Cynthia Wesley, Addie Mae Collins, and Denise McNair, who were killed 62 years ago when a Ku Klux Klan bomb exploded in the basement of 16th Street Baptist Church.

To be historically clear and accurate, the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing was a terrorist bombing of the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama, on September 15, 1963. The bombing was committed by a white supremacist terrorist group fuel by hate and fear.

Today we speak the names of the victims of their cowardly and hateful act. Today in their memory we recommit to continuing our individual and collective efforts to eradicate hate by lovingly and patiently teaching, preaching and showing agape LOVE to all of humanity.

Until we confront our injustice and violent history of racial injustice, racist ideologies and its legacy, we cannot overcome the racial bias that exists today, and the senseless deaths that will surely follow this path.

Let Us Honor & Remember These Precious Souls Taken By The Violence of Hate..

Say Their Names;

🕊 Addie mae Collins, age 14

🕊 Denise McNair, age 11

🕊 Carole Robertson, age 14

🕊 Cynthia Wesley, age 14

Love is the only remedy for hate...love is the answer,. "changed hearts and minds, changes behaviors"

BEAH RICHARDS A BLACK WOMAN SPEAKS OF WHITE WOMANHOOD

The poem directly addressed white women, challenging their historical and contemporary complicity in white supremacy and the oppression of Black people.

Beah Richards spent thirty years being watched by the FBI. Not for a crime. For who she stood beside.

Beah Richards was close with civil rights figures like Paul Robeson and W.E.B. Du Bois, and her ties to Black activist circles and Communist Party leaders were enough to put her under federal watch from 1951 to 1972, an entire stretch of her career spent building a name for herself in theater and film while an agency somewhere kept quiet notes on her.

She'd grown up far from any of that attention, in Vicksburg, Mississippi, the daughter of a Baptist minister and a seamstress, in a town that didn't even have a theater she was allowed into. She knew she wanted to act anyway, with no stage in sight and no clear path toward one.

She got out. Moved to New York in 1950, chasing an industry that wasn't exactly waiting for her. Her real breakthrough came in an off-Broadway production of "Take a Giant Step" in the mid-1950s, where she played an 84-year-old grandmother. She was 35 at the time. No aging makeup, no prosthetics, nothing but her own physical performance to sell an age gap of nearly fifty years to a live audience. It worked well enough that older-woman roles became something of a signature for her for the rest of her career, decades before she actually reached that age herself.

She wasn't only acting. Richards wrote poetry and plays on the side, including a piece called "A Black Woman Speaks," which she performed as a one-woman show and which later became the framework for a civil rights organization she helped found. She was building a movement with her writing at the same time Hollywood was building a career for her onscreen, two tracks running side by side for most of her life.

The acting side eventually caught real momentum. A Tony nomination for James Baldwin's "The Amen Corner" in 1965. An Academy Award nomination two years later for "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner," playing Sidney Poitier's mother in one of the most talked-about films of the decade. Decades of steady work followed, including two Emmy wins for guest performances, the second one arriving in the year 2000, just days before she passed away. She was too ill to attend the ceremony and had another actress accept the award on her stage.

She died four days after winning that final Emmy, in the same Mississippi town she'd left as a young woman with nowhere to perform. And in one final, strange twist, she'd requested that her ashes be scattered across a Confederate cemetery, a resting place layered with irony for a Black woman who'd spent decades speaking out against exactly the history that ground represented.

An FBI file that trailed her for twenty years. A performance so convincing it fooled audiences about her real age. An Emmy win she never got to celebrate in person. Beah Richards spent a lifetime being underestimated and quietly proved almost everyone wrong.

Meet The Author! The Incomparable Dr. Erroll G. Southers

As someone who has spent the past 50 years engaging with and fostering relationships with a number of renowned and legendary individuals, I can honestly say that I am deeply impressed by your humility.
Dr. Southers is a person who could easily boast about his accomplishments. He has a distinguished career in law enforcement, along with his service on numerous governmental agencies, boards and committees, reflecting a lifetime of exceptional achievements. Yet despite these remarkable accomplishments, he has remained grounded, approachable, and humble. That quality is what I admire most about him, and it is one of the many reasons I am looking forward to reading about his journey and learning more about the experiences that helped shape Dr. Southers into the extraordinary human being he is today.

Dr. Southers I am also grateful for the wisdom you have shared with me on issues that align closely with the mission and platform of Moms Allyship Against Racism (MAAR). One of those shared commitments is our collective effort to confront and eradicate hate in all of its forms. We stand united in the belief that education is essential to overcoming hate and that love remains the ultimate remedy.
Thank you for your time today. I thoroughly enjoyed visiting your office and having the opportunity to see some of the awards and historical photographs that chronicle your remarkable journey of service and leadership. It was both inspiring and enlightening.
You are truly a man who has come into the Kingdom for such a time as this. Your knowledge, experience, and wisdom have prepared you to make a meaningful impact on generations to come, and I am grateful for your willingness to share what you have learned along the way.
I look forward to reading your book and continuing to learn from your example.
With admiration and gratitude!

🇺🇸 THE BIRTH OF A NATION 🇺🇸

Juneteenth is now a national holiday...Now isn't it time we teach ALL children in schools the true history on the birth of this nation, and the truths of those enslaved souls forced LABORED that gave BIRTH to AMERICA.

As we have now celebrated Juneteenth, let us have a time of reflection, as well as taking the time to stop and talk to our children and each other about the purpose and significance of this day. Let's gather to initiate the "healing process", using this day for moving us "forward" as a nation; remembering the hardships of our ancestors, particularly the last of them to be freed long after the Emancipation Proclamation had been signed. Also, And let us remember the pride and the courage of the black soldiers of the United States Colored Troops who relieved them of bo***ge, and the 40,000 USCT soldiers who died for our freedom.

Honor their memory.
Happy Juneteenth, everyone.

When you witness an injustice STAND UP AND SPEAK OUT!

JUNETEENTH: "We're Not Free Until We're All Free"
Juneteenth is now a national holiday...Now isn't it time we teach ALL children in schools the actual history of the birth of this nation, and the truths of those enslaved souls whose “forced free” LABOR gave BIRTH to AMERICA.

And let us also remember the pride and the courage of the black soldiers of the United States Colored Troops who relieved them of bo***ge, and the 40,000 USCT soldiers who died for our freedom.
