Description
City of Chelsea, Guest: Marianne Ramos and Paris
A
Hello,
my
name
is
celeste
williams,
and
I
want
to
welcome
you
today
to
the
program
called
inspiring
generations
today,
we'll
be
discussing
a
history
from
the
1800s,
that's
very
controversial
and
hardly
spoken
about
here
at
the
chelsea
senior
center.
We
have
been
brave
enough
to
attack
these
controversial
subjects
and
we
have
enjoyed
every
bit
of
black
history
at
the
senior
center.
A
Just
last
year
in
2020
we
had
the
largest
participation
of
seniors
in
chelsea,
participate
in
the
black
history
month,
and
we
were
so
appreciative
to
those
people.
During
this
program
I
will
be
mentioning
some
of
those
people.
I
will
be
calling
your
name
out
and
if
you
know
who
you
are-
and
you
know
you
participated-
give
yourself
a
big
hand
in
the
cloud,
but
right
now
I
have
a
very
interesting
guest
in
the
studio.
Today
she
is
a
former
program
coordinator
at
the
chelsea
senior
center.
A
She
also
has
brought
so
many
people
together.
I
remember
first
meeting
her
at
my
poetry
class
and
how
we've
had
some
beautiful
conversations.
I
met
people
in
poetry
that
I
wouldn't
have
never
met.
If
I
wouldn't
have
took
up
the
subject
of
poetry-
which
I
love
so
much
and
it's
dear
to
marianne
as
well,
so
we
have
that
in
common
second
of
all,
she
is
here
in
the
studio
with
us
today.
I
want
to
welcome
to
the
show
today
miss
marianne
ramos.
A
B
And
there
was
other
people
who
sometimes
joined
and
sometimes
didn't,
but
but
I
want
to
say
when
you
you
speak
of,
it
was
a
variety
of
people.
It
was
a
small
group,
intimate
group,
but
many
you
just
mentioned
came
all
the
way
from
nepal
and
somehow
we
connected
in
this
class
and
I'm
so
glad
what
celeste
is
going
to
develop
in
this
conversation
is
how
this
is
how
we
started
to
know
each
other
which
led
to
other
things
exactly.
A
B
B
Marcus
garvey
is
not
well
known
or
understood
by
many
mainstream
people
who
go
to
high
school
and
not
that
they're,
not
necessarily
scholars
of
history,
so
she
didn't
know
for
sure
who
he
was.
But
anyway
we
brought
in
celeste
and
it
we
clinched
the
deal
and
we
had
four
years.
It
became
a
wonderful
routine
for
all
of
us,
something
to
look
forward
to,
and
each
year
focused
on
someone
different,
but
marcus
garvey
was
the
beginning.
It
was
small
and
intimate,
but
it
was
very
international.
B
The
seniors
that
come
to
the
center
are
are
often
from
other
nations,
not
just
this
one.
So
we
have
maybe
half
at
least
sometimes
a
majority
of
latinos.
We
have
people
from
many
other
places
in
the
world,
including
the
philippine
islands,
cape
verde
and
on
and
on
yeah.
So
one
of
celeste's
challenges
was
to
present
black
history
to
an
international
audience
of
the
senior
age.
B
A
A
You
know
and
as
a
youth,
we
discussed
that
things
affect
you
when
you're
young
to
all
the
youth
out
there.
That's
listening
to
this
program.
Things
affect
you
when
you're
young.
That
might
impact
the
way
you
are
when
you're,
older
and
marcus
garvey
had
some
controversial
things
that
happened
to
him
when
he
was
a
young
man
and
marianne.
I
discussed
that
and
where
did
we
go
after?
We
left
jamaica?
A
B
C
A
Yet,
but
if
you
travel
to
london,
there's
more
black
history
in
london
than
there
is
in
america,
so
his
travels
to
london
must
have
been
right
must
have
been
like
so
interesting.
He
must
have
found
like
artifacts
from
egypt
and
and
all
those
places
in
london,
because
that's
where
most
of
it
is
right
now
you.
A
A
B
A
A
A
A
B
A
A
B
A
B
Out
yet
many
people
in
those
days
if
they
immigrated
by
the
old
steam
ships,
some
of
them
died
on
the
way
yeah,
but
when
they
got
there,
the
ship
surgeon
who
was
like
the
immigration
guy
at
the
same
time,
he
could
pick
and
choose
this
one.
I
want
to
keep
this
one
goes
back,
so
it
was
a
suspenseful
situation.
B
B
B
Continuity
of
history
between
people
who
came
here
under
the
worst
conditions,
not
by
joyce
and
all
of
the
trauma
of
slavery
and
people
that
was
fresh.
That
was
a
very
fresh
situation
in
people's
personal
memories.
So
one
of
his
great
challenges
was
to
talk
about
self-determination
for
people
who
had
had
no
access
to
self-determination
before.
C
A
B
Well,
you
wanted
to
if
you
want
to
go
there.
Yes,
I
was
a
young
woman
in
the
sixth
well,
I
was
still
actually
a
youth
in
the
60s
and
there
was
there
was
a
movement
called
the
black
muslims
who
were
not
well
understood
in
the
mainstream
america,
but
I
lived
in
urban
america,
so
I
was
very,
very
exposed
and
I
used
to
read
their
newspaper
and
their
newspaper
market
the
same
idea
that
marcus
garvey
had
about
a
separate
homeland.
B
They
had
a
dream
of
having
a
separate
homeland.
This
is
in
the
days
of
malcolm
x,
in
the
days
of
elijah
muhammad,
who
was
the
leader
of
that
movement,
so
the
homeland
idea
this
was
this-
was
before
malcolm
x,
finished
his
journey
and
got
some
new
highlights
and
inspirations
before
he
died.
But
the
separate
hopeland
has
been
historical.
When
you
look
at
the
nation
of
liberia,
I
was
just
with
somebody
from
liberia
last
week
how
that
was
the
first
idea
of
a
separate
homeland.
B
A
A
B
A
B
To
unless
there's
one
little
thing,
I
could
sneak
in
here
sure
go
ahead.
That
first
episode
ended
beautifully
because
celeste
got
out
bob
marley's
one
love
and
she
was
playing
the
one
love
dancing
alone
to
kind
of
let
people
know
that
this
was
not
a
that.
This
is
a
story
about
love
and
loving
yourself
as
well
as
you
love
others.
A
A
B
B
They
had
a
sense
of
giving
more
than
taking
yes,
and
I
think
whenever
we
even
today,
if
we
can
give
maybe
not
to
washington
but
tax
time
is
here,
but
if
we
just
give
to
our
neighbor
even
the
gift
of
listening,
even
the
gift
of
respecting
that
is
transformative.
That
can
make
life
better
for
that
person.
Who
will
then
pass
it
on
to
someone
else
exactly.
A
So
we
will
ask
the
question:
ask
not
what
your
country
can
do
for
you
yeah,
but
what
you
can
do
for
your
country
and
that's
in
service
to
anyone
that
wants
to
go
out
there
and
and
make
this
country
better.
You
know
be
better
because
we
are
better,
and
I
would
like
to
thank
miss
marion
ramos
for
coming
today
and
talking
with
us
about
the
subject
of
marcus
garvey,
and
we
had
many
subjects
that
we
have
done
together
and
I've.
B
A
C
C
A
C
It
affected
me
at
first.
You
know
I
I
I
was
upset
and
mad
about
it,
but
you
know
I
prayed
to
god,
and
I
thought
you
know
if
I
put
put
it
in
god's
hands,
everything
will
be
all
right.
You
know
I
was
called
a
name
that
was
that
was
not
nice
for
any
person,
but
you
know
I
pray
for
those
people
and
I
hope
that
god
touches
their
heart
so
that
they
it
just
doesn't
happen
again.
That's
all
that's
all
I
just
want
the
best
for
everybody.
Yes,.
A
C
Yes,
I
do,
I
feel
like
if
we
have
some
type
of
support
where,
where
we
can
do
things
more
for
the
community
like
like,
especially
what
you're
doing
and
you're
doing
this
cleaning
the
square
and
everything
like
that.
I
want
to
try
to
help
you
where
you
can
get
more
people
when
and
we
can.
You
know
probably
style
some
type
of
foundation
or
something
like
that
to
to
clean
the
community.
C
A
C
My
hero
is
my
mother,
your
mom,
because
my
mom,
no
matter
what
my
mother's
with
me
every
day,
yeah.
She
taught
me
everything
to
how
to
be
a
man,
my
father.
What
did
they
want
someone?
But
my
mother,
my
mother,
is
my
mother
and
my
father,
so
I
thank
my
mother
for
everything.
You
know
it's
just
the
beginning.
