The 13Th Amendment Freedom Week Manual

Kariem Abdul Haqq

Description

The 13th Amendment Freedom Week Manual is a guide to establishing a yearly commemorative week that educates and celebrates the ideals of freedom. It is inclusive, not exclusive. This ‘Freedom Week’ is assembled so that all Americans (blacks, whites, etc.) can benefit from its celebration. It can also include people worldwide, not just Americans, who love freedom everywhere. It is a celebration that helps to heal racial conflict rather than divide. ‘The 13th Amendment Freedom Week’ is not a celebration to simply remember the horrors of slavery. It is a time to remember the ideas and benefits of freedom. This ‘13th Amendment Freedom Week Manual’ lays the foundation for the ‘13th Amendment Freedom Week Movement.’ Together they work to establish the ‘13th Amendment Freedom Week.’

“Hero-worship is strongest where there is least regard for human freedom”
Herbert Spencer
 
 
There are layers and levels to Freedom . It can be sought spiritually through inner struggling and conquering the negative passions (covetousness, envy, arrogance, etc.) within and freeing oneself from idol worship and personality dependencies.
Freedom is when an individual is free to think independently and do whatever he wants, as long as it is peaceful and without coercion or force. He does not unjustly destroy anyone else’s life, liberty, or property. He can reap the benefits of his labor. He voluntarily practices charity without force for the cleansing of his own soul. He pays taxes only for the benefits received.
Freedom requires responsibility, and without it, freedom is impossible. Freedom depends on a limited form of government, a free market economic system, a system of morality (religion), and one’s character. ‘Limited government,’ a ‘wealth medium of exchange,’ and a right to private property are essential ingredients for freedom!
Wealth is “all material things produced by human exertion having exchange value, - demand - supply.” It is ‘demand’ or ‘supply’ depending on one’s viewpoint.
Medium Of Exchange is “anything accepted in exchange in lieu of the wealth form desired.” And every individual’s freedom of life, liberty, and property/pursuit of happiness (which comes from our Creator, not government) should be protected by a collective force (law or government) or by himself.
 

THE 13TH AMENDMENT FREEDOM WEEK FLAG
Yellow is for freedom, blue for intelligence, and green for growth. See the cover for a color version.
Yellow is the color of the sun that symbolizes freedom - simply because it shines on all humanity. It is associated with light, intellect, and wisdom; this color is affiliated with awareness and understanding. It also represents a positive future and is linked with optimism.
Light blue is associated with knowledge and intellect. It symbolizes the intelligence that controls the emotions. Blue represents truth, and it is a symbol of heaven. It characterizes the blue sky, vastness, and abundance. It is linked with calmness, healing, and a cooling effect. It portrays water – rivers, lakes, oceans, etc. and is equated with nourishment. Blue is associated with rejuvenation and harmony. Light blue is the preferred color, not the darker blue that can allude to gloominess, sadness, and loss.
Light green symbolizes growth, prosperity, and wealth. It is the color of nature and depicts the earth. It is associated with the spring season, innocence, fertility, youth, and hope. It alludes to eternal life, love, and peace. Light green is correlated with mental and physical relaxation. It represents freedom from depression and anxiety. Green exhibits renewal and rejuvenation. The color comes from a harmonic blend of blue and yellow, and they all share similar characteristics.
‘The 13 th Amendment Freedom Week Flag’ is not by any stretch of the imagination to rival the ‘Stars and Stripes,’ or any other flag. It is just a symbol of the Freedom Week Celebration, and if anything, should honor ‘Old Glory.’ The author considers himself an upstanding citizen and a patriot of this country, and he respects the ‘Stars and Stripes’ for the good it represents. He pledges his “…allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands: one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.” The phrase “ …unde
