We were there to witness the amazing presentation of \u201cA Crisis of Conscience,\u201d the title given by its author, John Calloway, to what he calls \u201ca multi-disciplinary work.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was a beautiful, moving experience. A well-tuned mix of cultures, colors, music, and lives, all engaged in a similar task: to remind us that humanity can be at its best when creative multicultural collaborations occur \u2014 on and off the stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In these tense and horrible days (and years) that we are living, where violence takes center stage and peace and love seem to be distant stars from a remote galaxy, we need to ease our painful confusion with music, with shared possibilities, with common goals\u2026and with love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That afternoon, John Calloway and friends \u2014 evoking the life of John\u2019s grandfather, John W. Calloway \u2014 illuminated the possibility of a better world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The positive vibes created on that afternoon were achieved by a plethora of contributing amazing artists, a wildly talented multicultural group, with a majority of African-American and Filipino-American musicians and dancers. \u201cEach person who is here on stage today was carefully and purposely invited to be part of this work,\u201d said Calloway during the performance. \u201cBecause of their backgrounds, their common history and, of course, because of their great talent!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The work was centered on the personal writings of John Calloway\u2019s \u2018Lolo.\u2019 \u201cThat\u2019s how we call grandpas in Tagalog,\u201d \u2018John the grandchild\u2019 told us. They are writings that tell the story of a sensitive and creative man. A man who had to come to terms with a challenging fact: he was a U.S. soldier asked to fight in a war which \u2014 as he soon discovered \u2014 he did not wish to be a part of.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a young Black Sergeant Major in the U.S. Army and member of \u201cThe Buffalo Soldiers\u201d during the Philippine-American War, (1899-1902), John W. Calloway realized that he simply could not kill the people from a land who had never caused him any harm. On top of that, Sergeant Major Calloway fell in love with a Filipina woman. \u201cMy Lola\u2019s name was Mamerta de la Rosa,\u201d added Calloway, the grandchild.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For establishing a relationship with a Filipina woman (\u2018the enemy\u2019) Sergeant Major John W. Calloway was court-martialed. He successfully fought the charges against him and \u2014 as soon as the trial was over \u2014 he returned to the Philippines, to his sweet Mamerta. \u201cMy Lolo and my Lola were married over 30 years. From 1901 to 1932. They had 14 grandchildren.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A similar crisis of conscience afflicted other African-American soldiers, who soon discovered that they had plenty in common with those Brown and Black Filipino adversaries. In fact, the whole title of the piece is \u201cBuffalo Soldiers in the Philippine-American War: A Crisis of Conscience.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In \u201cCrisis of Conscience,\u201d some historical records describe the participation of Black American soldiers who were deployed to fight the Filipino pro-independence fighters. When they were in the Philippines, their experiences reminded them of the hurtful realities of racism in the U.S.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The U.S., as it usually has done when writing their \u201cofficial versions\u201d of history, claimed that the takeover of the Philippines was a necessity, \u201cfor the country\u2019s own good.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In an article titled \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/asiamattersforamerica.org\/articles\/black-soldiers-and-the-philippine-american-war\">Black Soldiers and the Philippine-American War<\/a>,\u201d Ramil Mercado writes that \u201cPresident William McKinley stated that the annexation of the Philippines would be \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/daily.jstor.org\/the-jim-crow-army-in-the-philippine-american-war\/#:~:text=The%20Philippine-American%20War%20of,United%20States%20annexed%20the%20Philippines\">benevolent assimilation<\/a>\u201d for the Filipinos, and that the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zocalopublicsquare.org\/2019\/04\/16\/19th-century-african-american-solider-fought-filipino-liberation\/ideas\/essay\/\">racial inferiority of the Filipinos [would be] a primary justification<\/a>\u201d for countering the pro-independence movement and seizing control of the strategically important archipelago.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mercado continues: \u201cFor many Black Americans serving during those tumultuous four years, the treatment and rhetoric towards Filipinos echoed the treatment of Black Americans at home in the United States.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, at least 30 Buffalo Soldiers defected, with 15 joining the Filipino Nationalist Movement. Most poignantly, before that colonialist take-over of the Philippines, Black regiments had the lowest desertion rate in the Army.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The actions and words of those \u201cBuffalo Soldiers\u201d (a name given to U.S. Black Army Regiments created during the 19th century) bring to my mind what Muhammad Ali, the African-American former heavyweight Champion of the World famously said, when he refused to serve in the U.S. Army during the Vietnam war:&nbsp; \u201cI ain&#8217;t got no quarrel with the Vietcong \u2026 no Vietcong ever called me a nigger.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That warm San Francisco afternoon gave us the sweet sounds of \u201cDanzones\u201d and other wonderful musical compositions. It also allowed us to enjoy sensual and beautiful dances and&nbsp; to hear some awesome spoken-word performances, all in the name of a peaceful coexistence.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, during the performance, a couple of times the roar of the \u201cBlue Demons\u201d (Oops, I meant the \u201cBlue Angels\u201d), those U.S. Air Force planes whose noise we inherited from a recently deceased former SF Mayor, disrupted our peaceful thoughts. The roar told us that life \u2026 and death, go on with their contradictory dances.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The respite beautifully weaved in \u201cA Crisis of Conscience\u201d came to an end. But it remains in our heart of hearts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/10112023-JOHNCALLOWAY-ET-PU-1_web.jpeg?resize=960%2C1200&#038;quality=89&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-58070\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/10112023-JOHNCALLOWAY-ET-PU-1_web.jpeg?w=960&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 960w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/10112023-JOHNCALLOWAY-ET-PU-1_web.jpeg?resize=200%2C250&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/10112023-JOHNCALLOWAY-ET-PU-1_web.jpeg?resize=384%2C480&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 384w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/10112023-JOHNCALLOWAY-ET-PU-1_web.jpeg?resize=768%2C960&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/10112023-JOHNCALLOWAY-ET-PU-1_web.jpeg?resize=400%2C500&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">John Calloway holds a portrait of his grandparents that was taken in Old Manila in the Philippines during the 1930s, inside Acci\u00f3n Latina\u2019s gallery in the Mission District on Oct. 11, 2023 in San Francisco, Calif.
