This video was written, directed and produced by 5 time world Karate/Kickboxing champion Anthony "Amp" Elmore who lives in Memphis, Tennessee. Elmore who is also a community activist visited Nairobi, Kenya in 1990 to premier his self-made Memphis movie called the "Contemporary Gladiator." While on Safari at Massai Mara in Kenya Elmore was visited by his African Ancestors. Elmore understand today that the spirit of Kenya Leader Tom Mboya motivated him to work to bring Africans and African/Americans together. After returning from Kenya in 1990 Elmore worked hard in the 1991 Mayor campaign of Dr. Willie Herenton Memphis elected African/American mayor. Herenton became Memphis Mayor in 1992. Elmore tried for almost two decades to get his friend Dr. Herenton to build culture, economic and family relationships with Africa. While Dr. Herenton was Memphis 1st African/American he had no interest in building relationships with Africa no matter how hard Elmore tried to convince his friend. One White Jewish Congressman Steve Cohen a White became the only White to be elected in a majority African/American district. In February of 2007 and being only a Congressman for less than two month Congressman Cohen visited Elmore's home as a guest for Memphis 1st Black history month African dinner. Memphis Congressman Steve Cohen took Elmore's advice and he has visited perhaps 10 African countries. Congressman Cohen has worked very hard to help Elmore build relationships with Africa via his arranging for Elmore to meet with various African Ambassadors. Elmore mention to Congressman Cohen that one day he would be like the Kennedy's. Congressman Cohen said that would be a great honor. In 2013 Elmore traveled to Nairobi, Kenya to meet with 6 Kenya Governors and he met with Sarah Obama, the Grandmother of President Obama. Kenya Governor Dr. Evans Kidero loved Elmore's plan and he is the Son-in-law of Kenya leader Tom Mboya whose spirit inspired Elmore. Tom Mboya was the Kenyan who got Barack Obama Sr. to America in 1959. Kenya Governors in Western Kenya had agreed to help Elmore via their supporting the "Safari Initiative" whereas Kenya would be the 1st Country to honor African/Americans with a "Formal State Reception." The Governor Representative in America asked Elmore who his contacts were in Memphis. Elmore gave them the name of Tennessee State Representative G.A. Hardaway. The Western Kenya Governors worked out a business arrangement with African/American State Representative Hardaway who hosted the Kenya Governors in Memphis. Kenya Governor Cornell Rasanga who represents the district where the Obama family lives in Kenya came to Memphis again in December of 2013 at the invitation of Representative Hardaway. The Group of Kenyans boasted that Kenya leader Tom Mboya was dead and they did not share Elmore's vision of Africans and African/American building family, cultural and economic relationships. Two weeks after be devastated by Kenyans who refused to develop relationship based on the Obama Presidency. Without a Mboya there World never be an Obama. On Christmas Day December 25, 2013 Elmore and his family watched the movie Mandela "The Long Walk to Freedom." Elmore communicated to Congressman Cohen regarding the hurt and betrayal he got not only from the Kenyans but African American State Representative Hardaway did not have the vision to connect the Obama Presidency to our bringing the family of Africans and African/Americans together. Congressman Cohen promised Elmore that we shared his vision of honoring Dr. Martin Luther King and Nelson Mandela and he would get Elmore a 2nd appointment with the South African Ambassador. On March 31, 2014 Elmore met with South African Ambassador Ebrahim Rasool. Congressman Cohen sent his representative Mr. William Connor to represent him at the meeting. The South African Government accepted Elmore's proposal. In June of 1964 Robert Kennedy Sr. was the 1st White leader from America to Visit Africa to tell Africans that they were human. Bobby Kennedy visited South Africa during the time of Apartheid and he visited the Black Township Soweto and other areas. The idea that a White would visit South Africa in 1966 when we had segregation in America was historic. Elmore posted this video as a message to Memphis Congressman Steve Cohen. Without having to say any words Elmore titled this Video "Cohen to Walk the Kennedy Path in South Africa." While we will honor Nelson Mandela, Dr. Martin Luther King and African and African American culture we must also honor the"Kennedy Legacy" in South Africa. Without ever asking Elmore can say: "Cohen to Walk the Kennedy Path in South Africa." We want others Blacks and Whites to "Walk the Kennedy Pathway." We want South Africa to develop the "Kennedy Pathway Tour in South Africa." Learn more about the celebration at: http://www.homecomingcelebration.com/
