I Am Because We Are Honoring the Past Impacting the Present Shaping the Future

I Am Because We Are (Ubuntu) is an African philosophy that focuses on people s all egiances and relations with each other. We really cannot separate ourselves from each other. We cannot see our actions a s separate from the impact on each other. God designed it this way - we can see this in God s prom ise to Abraham I will make you a great nation; I will bless you and make your name great; and y ou shall be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you; and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed. We must understand that no person is an island and God wants us to get this and to take action on it. It s built right into the fabric of this world an d in the fabric of the Ross family. Through conversations with our Elders, we hear about the determination of Charle y Ross to be a land owner and thereby, leave an inheritance for his children. This inheritance goes far beyond land. Each of us has inherited a love of God and family, determination to fulfill our destinies and thereby shape future generations of Ross families.

Catfish Time Friday, July 11, 2008 ~ 7:30-10:30 Oberlin Inn Patio

When taking the pilgrimage from Ohio to Mississippi, most of us looked forward to that first taste of Mississippi catfish! We often heard stories about the catfish houses and were even fortunate to taste crispy fried catfish in the homes of our Elders from Mississippi. Emmett and Hallie were known to fry up catfish and serve it to the family, hot out of the skillet. On a trip to Mississippi, with her father, Laurence and her sister Windy, Lori Ross was fascinated by the love of catfish evidenced all throughout her stay. Upon hearing her poem at the 2007 reunion, we knew that we had to have Catfish Time this year.

Did You Know? Catfish seem to be a popular school, from farm raised to wild and free. The only place this fresh water species shuns is Antarctica. Maybe the cold drives them away? Contrary to all th e cartoons you ve seen as a child, Catfish do not have fur. In fact, as of 2005, all 37 families a re scale-less as well. The, over 2,000 known species are named for the whiskers" (a.k.a. barbells") around the ir mouths. Catfish have become such a symbol of American summertime fun and fisherman s tall tales that President Reagan declared June 25th as National Catfish Day. This proclamation w as made in 1987 and has been revered at campfire celebrations ever since. There is not a lake or fishing hole in the United States that does not have some sort of legend about the oldest, biggest ca tfish that has ever lived swimming in these waters." Catfish can range in size from the tiniest parasite, known to enter the urinary tract of an unsuspecting wader, to a record 646 pounds caught in Northern Thailand. Researchers speculate that these vast fish can get a lot bigger, as many species live in developing countries where they have not been studied thoroughly. We hope that you enjoy the catfish and enjoy Lori s poem! (searchwarp.com)

Remember when we drove so far just us three in a big black car. And as the road stretched far and wide, the car seat leather stuck to our hides. We wanted to smell that Mississippi air So, why were we at the Kentucky Fair? The cop at the gate said take I-75 So, we turned around and were ready to ride. So, I said to Windy, you take the wheel but by a Demon Driver her spot was filled. But me and Pops, we played it cool. And at the restaurant checked our pants for stool We made it safe enough: never fear. The sun was hot and the skies were clear. But no, my story is not done the adventure has just begun. Oh, we took a trip to Piney Woods where the history was great, the grounds were wood. But, oh those pigs did not smell good. Then into Ross Town we did venture these people eat catfish for lunch and dinner. It was a sight to see Uncle Willie.s farm and Mom.s and Pop.s Old Almamater then we bounced on down to Biloxi beach where the sand was so white, I thought I.d been bleached. Our adventure was starting to come to an end.

We were all kind of sad

cause we made a few friends.

But we hitched our ride and loaded our sacks kissed all good-bye and traveled back. We made it back in record time where the wind is cool and the sun is not so kind. So all in all, it was a great vacation traveling over some of this nation. But I gotta go, yeah I gotta run, just had to tell you bout all that fun Yeah,Pops is the guy, oh he.s the man the number one honcho of the catfish clan!

We will also talk with a few family members who will inspire us through their ef forts to break down barriers and obstacles to realize the hopes and aspirations of those who went be fore us.

In the early 1900s, David Ross, Sr. began working on the Great Lakes. Understanding the principles of, "I Am Because We Are" David Sr. helped secure employment for his son David Jr. as well his brother, Willie's son's. Commonly called, "working on the boats" was a key factor that drove the migration of the Ross family from Mississippi to Ohio, Indiana and other Northern States.

The descendants of Charley and Lizzie now extend to seven recorded generations.
