The Legacy of Adodi And Brother Clifford Rawlins on Film.....

The Legacy of Adodi and Clifford R. Rawlins...

By Brother Tracy Gibson...

A dozen courageous Black Same Gender Loving men came together at the Songhai City Cultural Center at 3117 West Master Street {The heart of North Philadelphia}, to pay homage to Brother Rod Patrick Risbrook's new documentary: ``ADODI -- 25 Years And Beyond: Claiming the Legacy, Continuing the Legend...'' The film is set to be released in August of 2013.
The film tells the story of Adodi--a support group for Black men who are Same Gender Loving and who refuse to be stereotyped, categorized and put down, but who insist on being treated--and treat each other--with dignity, respect, LOVe, kindness and as men of Tomorrow today.  Men who are and will lead our people in a positive direction and men who take responsibility for their sexual activities and actions, deciding to act as responsible adults--not immature children.
Adodi was founded in May of 1986 by Creative Arts Therapist Clifford Rawlins, also an artist, who opened his home to create a warm and loving atmosphere each week on Sundays, that helped nurture and educate literally hundreds of Brothers through the beginning stages of the AIDS / HIV Crisis. Clifford held us spell-bound during those heady early days as we were surrounded by his fantastically gifted art work, the art work of other Black artists and luscious jazz music as we learned survival tactics, and techniques to help us build vital self-esteem that would carry most of us on into another millennium and another generation.  Many more of us would have perished if it had not been for Adodi.
A brief trailer of Brother Risbrook's film was shown at this recent gathering of men and the courageous attending Brothers took the time to talk about the up-coming National election and how they think President Barack Obama will fair; the history of the Black man and the Black woman in business; The history of the Black church movement in Philadelphia; the expectations of Blacks in the Arts and film; the potential of this particular film and how it was conceived; the vast potential for a new Black Renaissance that will not only lift Black people locally, but lift our hearts and spirits as a Black Diaspora internationally.  There was also talk of the White Male's penis envy of Black men.
The event was sponsored by the Black Millionaires Network and offered a chance for the filmmaker, a good Brother from Brooklyn, New York, to discuss his film {which is still in production}, and meet with some of the people that are part of the heart of its' creation--The Adodi Brothers themselves. {Earlier in the day, three Adodi Brothers, including myself, were interviewed on film as part of the production}....  The Brothers who attended this event had the courage to not be defined by there own fears nor by their supposed oppression, nor by the exclusivity, marginalization, discrimination and homophobic attitudes we often face from our own Black community and even our own Black families and Black churches.  We had the courage to move forward and attend an event in the heart of North Philadelphia which is stereotyped as a violent, miseducated and oppressed neighborhood when in fact while there may be some aspects of North Philadelphia that are like that, there are and always have been Brothers and Sisters in North Philadelphia who have struggled for decades to improve the schools, improve living standards and improve the lives of Black North Philadelphia residents.
There were 38 empty seats at this event, but they were filled by our Ancestor's strong forthright, forward-moving and supportive spirits as the night went on and everyone enjoyed each other's company and the delicious vegetarian food prepared by Sister Atiyaola, who catered the event and who owns a vegetarian restaurant at 4505 Baltimore Avenue in West Philadelphia....
When the film is released, This writer plans to help the producers and director get it seen widely throughout the country because the story of Adodi is close to my heart and it is a story that needs to be told.

Ms. Leslie Banks
The Place Where ALL the Money Is

Dear Leslie:

How the heck are you? I miss you a great deal all the time. I am writing you this letter to ask for help in getting my businesses established, profitable and off the Ground.  I am putting ads in the paper looking for investors, employees and help.  I need your positive spirit on my side.  I think we had a hard time relating once we got older, Leslie, but I never, ever stopped loving you. I know you loved our family and would and did do every thing you could for the children in the family.  I think I did a few things to really, really piss you off. I want you to know that it was NOT done intentionally.  I think you were really a victim of this Capitalist system as I also have been.  I am constantly told it is not good to look at the world through the eyes of victims and perpetrators or oppressors and oppressed--yet we live in an age of Travon Martin; Thousands of Black men being put in Jail for basically nothing; and Black women being asked to work for almost nothing in Third World Nations like Africa and Venezuela.  Some people think our state of oppression will never end unless we take up arms and spark an international insurrection which will be bloody and deeply costly in human lives.  I am praying that such a bloody insurrection can be avoided and that we can work through small businesses like mine to come up with solutions that will free us and help us reach true economic parity with our White Friends.  I need your spiritual power to come down from Heaven and protect and surround me as I go about the business of working our youth and the rest of us free from the economic, Spiritual, social and political bonds that are holding us back.  It is challenging and more than worth while.  I thank you for whatever you can do, but I hope and pray you can forgive me spiritually for asking for that $50.  loan I needed that got you so upset.  I had no where else to turn to get food and medicine which I needed at that particular time. As you know part of the Established Order's plan is to keep us on disability and child support, welfare and unemployment or trapped in dead-end, meaningless jobs--especially the most Brilliant among us--so we just feel hopeless and weak and never really make anything much of ourselves. So I hope and Pray you will forgive me for anything I may well have done to offend--that was not my intention.  I Love you and I love the memory of you. I will never forget the good times we had coming up as children--our Mom's being sisters and All.  You were so funny with those Big Rosy cheeks and your Deputy Dog Doll.  We both Loved your Mon Helen and your Dad Pete.  Those Days in Cape Maye were the Best Ever.  I thank GOD up Above for making us first Cousins and I will LOVe you for sever eternities.
 
GOD Bless you Forever___
 
Many, Many Blessings and Peace,

Can You Help Me Heal?

There is so much I haven't learned to morn properly and let go of.

1} The death of my Best Friend Mr. Joseph A. Bunch.

2} The death of my Father, Mr. Charles S. Gibson.

3} The ruthless, confusing, sad and mournful murder of New York Senator Robert F. Kennedy.

4} The Assassination of President John F. Kennedy.

5} The senseless assassination of African Leader Patrice Lamumba by the Central Intelligence Agency.

6} The murder of Brother Malcolm X.

7} The Murder / Assassination of Medgar Evers.

8} The loss of my Mother Mrs. Jessie M. Gibson.

9} The loss of so, so many Black men and women to the prison system, to the lack of education and unemployment, and, frankly, their stupidity and our lack of an ability to protect and defend our Black boys and girls and women and men.

10} I also morn my own loss of innocence and what I still stubbornly insist was the loss of my ``manhood'' -- my being sexually molested and sexually abused by a West Philadelphia shop keeper I worked for when I was a young boy. If only I could heal from this!!

11) The tragic loss from ruthless assassination of Our Righteous leader The Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King, Jr.

12) The Ruthless killing of Maurice Bishop by former President Ronald Reagen.
