NY Knicks star, Amar’e Stoudemire paid a second visit to the Holy Land this summer but this time he brought his son’s to tag along. It was all about the boys on this trip. Amare was seen trailing through the historic ‘Jaffa Gate‘ [one of the eight gates in the Old City Of Jerusalem], coaching a basketball team, an attending the Hebrew University where he met up with a few students and the president.

Amar’e Stoudemire  had visited Israel back in 2010 when he was a free agent prior to signing to the Knicks, and media outlets [ie The Associated Press and others] had initial reserves about his visit.  Like many black folks,  Amare’s adamantly declares that he is of Jewish heritage and enjoys visiting the Holy Land.

Sidebar: There are many people have and or desire to travel to the Holy Land so why are some people speculating the nature of  any black person’s  visit to the Holy Land. We should all be striving for #World Peace #Unity and #Love!

It is truly inspiring to see parents  educating their children from young and providing meaningful and cultural experiences in their upbringing. This a page we can all take from some of our positive celebrities.

A Tweet, A Tweet, That’s All PLUM’s!
