Jacqueline Amos documented with the Museum
of Modern Art, 1995, Brooklyn Museum,
1996, and many archives,
her favorite Quote, I shall rise alone, if I must
but I shall bring some of my people home,
I am the sheep that walks towards
the light In this world order, I as women
and all women, must come together as one,
the blessing of the almighty; who breathe upon
Our trust, it is not the woman who stands
before the mountain, but woman who walk,
with righteousness an dignity, Jacqueline
a true soldier in Gods army.
In this speech Jacqueline states, I am not
a slave, I shall never be label as a slave,
God said I was woman, man say I am,
the daughter of a slave, Harriet Tubman,
Soldier Truth, many sisters, who carried
the cross, God said I was warrior,
never a slave. In Jacqueline?s books she
speaks of family, and strength, she teaches
her brothers, you are a gift from God,
stand tall never walk in no mans shadow,
the good slave is a dead slave, one who
has freed his self, from mans destructions,
God is the master, and the devils who have lost his key.
As her primary influences, is particularly know,
as wisdom and spirituality, the by laws of God,
the rainbow reflects the cries of the soul,
the dead roots which continues to dye slowly,
helpless when the waters sits upon the door,
roots that refuse to save self. Jacqueline
and Artist, Poet, as well Author
Refused too differentiate, between her
Personal experience; and the common
Experience of black America. She wants to tell
the stories of her people in ways that reflected
their actual culture, including both their suffering,
and their love and language itself.
The world call blues that she sings
The weary of pain, lord I got one time on my hand,
let my people go, the pain that is reflected through
the dialogues call roots.
The multi talents creations; as she states
I am just a tool, the voices cry beyond the grave,
Her life and works influence by the
Struggles of a system, who allows truth
to come through the back door, her favor lines I shall go down.
if I must, but I know the light of God is not
to far, her personal experience in black America,
her words I shall tell the story of my people,
I shall no longer cry the song of a slave,
there is only one master, God holds the key,
including suffering, and the love of art and music.
