This epic journey from darkness to enlightenment was celebrated in a very special ceremony in my community called the “Africatown MCTS Lantern Walk.” And by acknowledging and replicating this historical experience, we have the opportunity to, reengage, give back, and thank our ancestors for their continual guidance again. Therefore, We “Call Their Name.”
