To Thomasena Stokes Marshall, Irving Stokes, Jr., family friends and associates of Irving Stokes Sr. to honor a man and his family.
We send our heartfelt condolences to honor a man that reflects the trials ,tribulations ,triumphs and family challenges which influenced a life shaped by political inequities which inspired the Great Migration, assimilating to New York City, the military experience, raising a family with the unique dynamics of the foreign urban landscape of 1950's. Irving Stokes, Sr and his family resided in a Bronx NY apartment on Fulton Avenue; later relocating to a house in Queens Village, NY; and the genesis to a grand re-migration back to South Carolina. The return represents a reconnection with the ancestral roots from our collective African heritage which influences our culture today. Our heritage is exhibited in our speech patterns, world renowned sweet grass art form and Gullah cuisine, Low Country lifestyle and tradition, each of which represents our unique journey from the motherland. This is our story, which is both our legacy and a work in progress. My family is currently planning and are expecting to continue to build upon the legacy inspired by Isaac and Adelle Boston on our collective property in Mount Pleasant, SC.
My Sister Rebecca, niece Thomasena, nephews Irving and Tony are all role models as well as deceased niece Deidre and other of this family's grandchildren and great grandchildren.
You all represent a classic American success story. We've learned so much from each of you; this family inspires us. God bless you all.
