What do you know about freedom? What would you do for freedom? Would you give all of your material goods for the sound of freedom's bell? Would you die so others might live? What does freedom mean to you? What offers you a spark of the spirit? I first met Miss Kessie at Lincoln Memorial University. President Lincoln (Dennis Boggs), Frederick Douglas (Michael Crutcher), General Forrest (Stan Dalton), and I were on stage getting ready to offer a presentation. We were aware that MS Kessie would be joining us but we had never met her. I recall the first time I saw her. She walked in with head bowed, her hands in a submission position, and dressed in a very plain dress with her head covered. She exemplified the image of a slave. When I was introduced, I noted how shy and quiet she seemed. She only glanced in my direction and stood a few feet from me looking towards the floor. I noted that she reacted in the same manner towards the other presenters. I have to admit that we were concerned because she was to speak first and set the example. She seemed so timid, shy, and didn't seem to have a living historian edge. Boy was we wrong When the spotlight hit her, it was likened unto a morning flower blooming in the rays of the sun She began singing in the most haunting beautiful voice the old song, "Nobody knows the trouble I've seen. Nobody knows..." Then she stops. stares into the audience and says, "But Jesus" Then she said the following words in the voice of a slave that still resonates in my mind. "I know that I am a slave. I have been a slave all my life and see those boys over there (pointing towards the audience) those men in blue, well they said they were going to free me. But I know the love of Jesus Christ and I am already free " By the time she shared her story and became ingrained in my heart forevermore as MS Kessie, tears unabated ran down my cheeks. I noted that the other personas wept and one of us even sobbed. The audience reacted in the same manner. I struggled to offer my poor presentation, as did the others. Afterwards, we all talked to MS. Kessie and once again this humble little lady maintained the dignity of a person free from the shackles of sin through Jesus Christ. I have loved her ever since. That in essence is what the true meaning of Unbounded Freedom means She personified it and then passed it to others. She lite the torch for others to see. Freedom comes from within the soul as only salvation can give. Unbounded Freedom are lessons I learned along the way and I offer them to you in that you too may know the peace of Unbounded Freedom.
