The 2010 Leake Family Reunion theme (shown above) was designed and submitted by Deborah Leaks-Anthony, daughter of the late Oscar (Buddy) Leake Sr.
|
|
Another Family Reunion musical theme possibility: "A Change Is Gonna Come."
It would reflect what has happened to us as Africans kidnapped and brought to America, and how it has come full circle with the election of Barack Hussein Obama, a black man from Africa, as president of the USA. Many of the slaves brought to America had names similar to the president (Slave rosters prove this).
The title, of course, is taken from Sam Cooke's tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., a song discovered by the present generation after the Malcolm X movie was released.
