On February 1, 1960. National freedom day as declared by president Abraham Lincoln in his support

for, the passage of the 13th amendment to the US. constitution (abolishing slavery, January 31,

1865). Jibreel along with his freshmen companions. Dr. Franklin E. Mccain, Dr. Joseph A. Mcneil, and

Dr. David l. Richmond. Initiated the daddy/mother of all civil and human rights action in the USA. for

the decade of 1960." The "four freshman", staged a lunch counter "sit-in" demonstration at the local

F.W. Woolworth's lunch counter in Greensboro. NC to protest the gross denial of equal service to all

customers based solely upon racial characteristics. The "sit-in movement" was the first of its type

initiated nationally by African - Ur-Asian males, and spread to at least 250 major cities and towns in

America in which over 400 demonstrations took place by the end of 1960. Millions of Americans

joined this movement for equal rights.

The act of 'Sitting In' lead to: (1) the passage of The 1960 civil rights bill; (2) the interstate commerce

commission ruling in September, 1961, against racial segregation on interstate carriers and terminals;

(3) the first national public accommodations act in 100 years.

The sit in partcipants role models were the non-violent principles of love and peace practiced by

Rabboni Yashua al-Masih (Lord Jesus the Christ - peace on him), Mahatma Gandhi, Dr. Martin Luther

King, Jr. and Dr. Ralph David Abernathy. Our deliverance was prophesied by Bishop Apostle Marcelino

Manoel Da Graca (Sweet! Sweet Sweet! Daddy Grace) (ra), founder of the United House of Prayer for

all People in New Bedford, Massachusetts in 1921. Before he transcended this mortal life on January

12, 1960, Bishop "Daddy" Grace Prophesied. The grace of God shall come soon to deliver you from

the yoke of bondage and oppression. Pray for the anointing power of the Holy Ghost. You shall be

delivered. Bye for now - love dad." 19 days later on Sunday night, January 31,1960, we decided we

were going to request equal service for all Americans at F.W Woolworth's lunch counter on Monday,

February 1. 1960. We thank our life giver, Rabboni Yashua al-Masih, our parents, relatives, teachers,

friends, believers in our life giver, Bishop Apostle Marcelino Manoel Da Graca, Mahatma Gandhi, Mrs.

Rosa Parks, Drs. King and Abernathy. Their families, SCLC, NAACP, Ms. Ella baker, SNCC, CORE, labor movement, the martyrs, LIR.P.O. Elks of the world, Prince Hall Masonic Lodge, a.e.o.-nobles of the

fulfilled the prophecy." All praises and thanks are due to our life giver for "God's amazing grace".
