Inqaku loMhleli: "Uphononongo loluntu" luluhlu oluqhelekileyo kwiNtaba ye-Airy ebonisa amagqabantshintshi avela kwiinkokeli zasekuhlaleni zaseMount Airy naseSurrey.
Le nyanga yiNyanga yokuBonga iBhodi, kwaye ndibhale le kholamu kunyaka ophelileyo. Ndicinga ukuba kufanelekile ukuthumela kwakhona ngohlaziyo oluncinci. Siyayibulela iBhodi yethu yezeMfundo. Izikolo zaseMount Airy City (i-MACS) zineBhodi yeMfundo emangalisayo (BOE). Amalungu enza konke okusemandleni awo ukuze anikele ngexesha lawo ukuxhasa intsumpa kunye nesithili, nokumamela uluntu. Eli qela lobuchwephesha liya kwiintlanganiso zebhodi kabini ngenyanga, lithatha inxaxheba kwiziganeko ezininzi zesikolo unyaka wonke, kwaye liqhuba iiseshoni zoqeqesho kulo lonke ilizwe. Imisebenzi yeBhodi yabaLawuli ibandakanya:
- Ukuphuhlisa imigaqo-nkqubo ehambelana nomthetho karhulumente ukubeka imigangatho, ukuphendula, kunye nokuvavanya imisebenzi engundoqo yesithili sesikolo;
-Khusela isithili sesikolo, abasebenzi, ngakumbi abafundi kulo lonke unxibelelwano kunye nezinye ii-arhente zikarhulumente kunye noluntu.
I-BOE yethu yenza oku mahhala kwaye amalungu azinikela ngokuzithandela ixesha elininzi kunye namandla. Bavumela abasebenzi ukuba bajonge imisebenzi yemihla ngemihla yesithili kwaye banike inkxaso kumphathi kunye neqela lobunkokeli. Bakhona kwaye babandakanyeka kuluntu kwaye balandela ukubetha kwentliziyo yoluntu. Siyazi ukuba ngabagadi babantwana. Kwindima yabo, baxhasa iintsapho kwaye babeka iimfuno zesithili sesikolo kuqala kwiintliziyo zabo nakwizenzo zabo.
Isitulo sethu sebhodi nguTim Matthews, usokhemesti wasekuhlaleni. UTim usebenze kwibhodi yabalawuli iminyaka engama-26 kwaye abathathu kubantwana bakhe baphumelele kwiZikolo zaseMount Airy City.

Ngexesha lalo nyaka i-Surry Countians Continuing the Dream, sithathe ixesha lokuhlonipha amajoni enyathi asekuhlaleni asebenzela ilizwe lawo. Kwabo banokuba bayiphosile le nto, mandikugcwalisele.
Masiqale kwasekuqaleni. Ngoobani amajoni eNyathi? Abantu base-Afrika baseMelika baye bakhonza kuyo yonke imfazwe yaseMelika, kodwa iMfazwe Yombango yatshintsha indlela ababekhonza ngayo.
Njengoko imfazwe yamakhaya yayithabath’ unyawo kwezomkhosi njengoko sasisilwa ngaphakathi kwethu, kwacaca ukuba umkhosi wawufuna amadoda angakumbi aqeqeshelwe ukulwa. NgoJulayi 28, 1866, uMthetho wokuHlanganisa kwakhona uMkhosi ugunyazise iiyunithi ezininzi ezintsha, kubandakanywa iiyunithi ezimbini zamahashe (i-9 kunye ne-10) kunye neeyunithi ezimbini zeentsana zase-Afrika zaseMelika (i-24 ne-25). Ngaphezu kwesiqingatha "semikhosi enemibala yeMfazwe yombango" yabhalisa, kwaye ngokokuqala ngqa ama-Afrika aseMelika athathwa njengemikhosi eqhelekileyo.
Ezi yunithi zaphakanyiswa ngokuyintloko ukunceda ukwakha ilizwe emva kwemfazwe kunye noncedo kulwandiso olusentshona lwe-United States. Kukholelwa ukuba amaThafa aseMelika anika igama elithi "Buffalo Soldier", kodwa esona sizathu segama asaziwa. Ngokutsho kwenkoliso yababhali-mbali, iinwele eziphotheneyo zamajoni zazifana nesikhumba senyathi okanye isimbo sawo sokulwa esinoburhalarhume yeyona nto ithandwayo namhlanje.
Ngeli xesha kukho iirekhodi zamanene asebenza kumkhosi ohamba ngeenyawo kunye namahashe kuwo wonke uMntla Carolina. Ama-Afrika aseMelika ayengabameli bokuqala kunye nabagcini beepaki zelizwe.
Ngobugorha bawo, amanye amajoni aseBuffalo akwazi ukufumana imisebenzi ephucukileyo, abe nempahla, aze afumane imfundo ephakamileyo. Ngelo xesha, amajoni amaninzi eNyathi abulawa ngokubulawa ekubuyeni kwawo yaye awazange amkelwe ekhaya njengamagorha.
Amajoni enyathi aqhubeka esilwa kwiMfazwe yaseSpain-Amerika, kwiMfazwe yasePhilippine-yaseMelika, kwaye, ewe, iMfazwe Yehlabathi I. Xa iUnited States ingena kwiMfazwe yeHlabathi yokuQala, kwasekwa amaqela amabini amavolontiya ase-Afrika-Amerika: eyama-92 neye-93. Izahlulo zaBantwana. Bebonke, abangama-350,000 base-Afrika baseMelika bathathe inxaxheba emfazweni, kuquka noJames Henry Taylor, owafumana imbasa kunye neMbasa yoloyiso waza wakhulela apha.
Omnye umthonyama owayesebenza yayinguRobert “Bob” Hughes, Sr., owazalelwa ePilot Hills kwaye waphumelela kwinto eyaziwa ngokuba yiJJ Jones High School. Ukususela ngo-1917 ukuya ku-1918 wayesebenza njengejoni laseBuffalo kwaye wasilwela kumda waseFransi. Uye waqhubeka nelifa lakhe lenkonzo ngoonyana bakhe abathathu, bonke ababeza kusebenza njengamajoni eBuffalo ngexesha leMfazwe Yehlabathi II.
Unyana wamazibulo, uWalter William “Bill” Bell Hughes, waphumelela kwisikolo samabanga aphakamileyo iJJ Jones kwaye wamkelwa kwiKholeji yezoLimo neyobuGcisa yaseNorth Carolina kunye nomninawa wakhe uRobert, kodwa babhaliswa emkhosini ngaphambi kokuba babhalise.
Kunoko, uWalter waqhubeka ekhonza kwi-365th Infantry Regiment (i-92nd Division) ukususela ngoNovemba 1942 ukuya ku-Aprili 1947. Phakathi kwe-1945 kunye ne-1946 wayemi kwiindawo ezahlukahlukeneyo kwaye walwa eItali malunga neenyanga ezintandathu, apho wayesebenza njengomatshini, elungisa yonke into. ukusuka kwiitanki kunye nejeep ukuya kwinqwelomoya. Ethetha ngokuhlala kwakhe ngaphambili, uthe: “Ndibe nethamsanqa ukuhlala ndiphila, bandidubula okomvundla.”
Unyana wesibini, uJames Caters "JK" Hughes, wabhalwa kwi-1943 kwaye waziwa kakhulu ngokuthunyelwa kwakhe e-Okinawa, eJapan. Ngethuba lenkonzo yakhe, wanikwa i-Rifle Shooter kunye ne-TSWG Carbine kwi-.45 Expert. Wade wafumana nenqanaba lesajini ehambayo ngaphambi kokuba akhululwe ngokuhloniphekileyo ngo-1947.
Ngokungafaniyo nabazalwana bakhe, unyana wesithathu, uRobert Hughes II, wabelwa kuMkhosi Wasemanzini. Wajoyina umkhosi ngo-1944, waba ngumdubuli, wasebenza njengomthuthi eCarlifonia, waza waqalisa ukunceda ukulayisha iinqanawa ngeembumbulu. Emva koko wanyuselwa kumsebenzi oyingozi njengomqhubi wecrane, yaye ukhumbula oku: “Abasebenzi baxelelwa ukuba ezinye iimbumbulu azidubulanga yaye ezinye zaziphila, kodwa sasingazi ukuba zeziphi na.”
Intsapho yakwaHughes eSurrey County yayingengomajoni aseBuffalo kuphela kuloo mmandla; abazalwana uJohn noFred Lovell bakhonza kwiMfazwe Yehlabathi II kwaye bazalelwa eStokes County kubazalwana abahlanu (uPaul, uHarrison, uLewis, uEdward noAaron Reynolds). Aba ngabantu abambalwa abancedwa luluntu lwethu.
Amajoni aseBuffalo ayiphelisa inkonzo yawo ngexesha leMfazwe yaseKorea ngo-1951 emva kokuba uMongameli uTruman ekhuphe uMyalelo oLawulayo we-9981 wokuphelisa ucalucalulo emkhosini, kodwa imbali yabo iyaqhubeka. La majoni awazange ancede nje iMelika ukuba ibe sisizwe esikhulu kwaye ekugqibeleni ibe namandla amakhulu ehlabathi, kodwa akwanceda uluntu lwethu ukuba lube yile nto luyiyo namhlanje.
UCassandra Johnson, uMlawuli weeNkqubo kunye neMfundo kwiMyuziyam yeMbali yeMount Airy, uthanda ukukhuthaza abanye ukuba bafunde imbali yezinto ezincinci, zemihla ngemihla zobomi bethu njengoko sisiya emsebenzini okanye sithenga.
