A letter from the President of Tomasian Entertainment
-
Though it is not the policy of Tomasian Entertainment to endorse any candidate, we do encourage all citizens to VOTE today regardless of political affiliation.
And though we will not endorse a candidate, we will make a stand on a very important issue. We at Tomasian Entertainment, LLC stand in solidarity with our LGBT family in CA in saying NO to Prop 8.
Amending a state constitution to deny the rights of a particular group of people scares me. I share this with you as to why I feel so strongly about this.
As a child a growing up in Albany, NY, my mother who grew up in Savannah, GA would take me to work with her. I was 4 or 5 so I never thought anything of it. I enjoyed playing at the back of the dry cleaning shop that my mother manged with the office supplies and helping her greet of customers as they came through the door. One day when I was 15, my mother and I laughed about those days and how all the customers said they missed me when I started going to elementary school.
She said to me, "That was a special time for me".
I asked her, "Why is that?"
She responded, "I was not allowed to visit my mother at work. She worked the counter at a white only restaurant."
I questioned, "A black woman working the counter at a white only restaurant? And you couldn't go there? That sounds crazy Mommy."
She smiled, "Yeah, it does now."
Let's progress not regress. Please remember that when you VOTE today.
In love, peace and pride,
Tomas Bell
President/Founder
Tomasian Entertainment, LLC
