Hughes Van Ellis Ascends to the Stars, Leaving Behind a Quest for Earthly Justice!

In the midst of a world, often clouded by the fog of transient obsessions and ephemeral fixations, the celestial ascension of Hughes Van Ellis, a stalwart guardian of a history both poignant and powerful, leaves behind a silence that screams louder than the cacophony of the mundane. WOYJO, with a heart both heavy and reverent, traces the odyssey of a soul who walked amidst us as a living epitome of grace, resilience, and an unyielding quest for justice.

A Life, An Epoch:

Hughes, a centurion sentinel, bore witness to the chiaroscuro of humanity’s paradoxes. At 102, he was not just a man, but an epoch, a living narrative of a chapter that history, in its selective amnesia, often sidesteps. Each wrinkle, a tale; each gaze, an odyssey into the enigmatic dance of human spirit amidst the fires of adversities.

The Echo of 1921:

The Tulsa Race Massacre – a sinister symphony of racial violence that in 1921 turned the thriving, pulsating heart of Black Wall Street into smoldering embers. Hughes, an enduring survivor, became the voice of those silent whispers, the unsung dirges, the unwept tears that soaked the hallowed grounds of Tulsa.

A Plea, both Silent and Sonorous:

“Please do not let me leave this earth without justice,” Hughes’s voice, reminiscent of the harbingers of truth, echoed in the silent halls of eternity during the centennial remembrance of the massacre. It wasn’t just a plea; it was a testament, an eternal epitaph to the undying spirit of a community – thriving yet thwarted, radiant yet ravaged.

The Celestial Ascension:

As Hughes ascends, a star amidst stars, his plea resonates – a clarion call that traverses the earthly confines, seeping into the celestial realms. The silent skies, the whispering winds, the echoing oceans – all bear testament to a voice unyielding, a spirit unvanquished.
