This Ted Hayes, American, social activist in homelessness resolution, and white-black, racial healing in America,
as well as being co-creator, Ms. Katy Habor, MBE of the internationally known, the legendary, “Compton Homies & the POPz (CH&Pz), all American-born, exhibition Cricket team, etc.; and associated friends of HRH Edward Windsor, The Duke of Edinburgh.

Please Note: “Cricket Outta Compton”, Black Maria, US National Award winning documentary, in which the then Prince Edward our lovely, chief sponsor, “partied” with the Homies & the POPz in Her Royal Highness, Elizabeth II’s Cricket Club House at Windsor Castle, following their match with Her Majesty’s Cricket Team…who by the way won. Cheers!

Under the auspices of Justiceville 501 c-3, in the continuing legacy of the legendary, “Homies & the POPz, the second, all American-born Cricket team of Compton Cricket Club (CCC), it’s our intent to now create a third, which, for the first time, for strategic reasons, will consist of young, semi professional, or collegiate, et al, black, athletic boys and men, who for whatever reasons, didn’t make “the grade”.

Being already trained in discipline athleticism, the gentlemen will be trained by professional English coaches, and their success will serve as much needed, living banner of new hope for America and the world.

As young people are in natural need of  “O.G.z”, meaning “Original”, or “Older” “Guys” or “Gentlemen”, even “Gangstas” of Etiquette Civility, as good/excellent role models and mentors to late teen boy to young men.

The new team of the CCC is the thrilling “engine” that catches young peoples’ full attention, who automatically seek to emulate the team members. See: “blueprint” Proposal

Knowing your status as a charitable agency that affords financial grants to worthy social services, we are not looking to you for funds, rather, your endorsement of our effort to abate the critical matters destroying US, American African, black citizens, including all homelessness,  youth or gang warfare, the latter of which the US Department of Justice (DOJ) reports that circa 7,500 young black boys and men, die by gun fire from their fellows every year.

This is a massively great, silent genocide, indeed!
Regardless of the present, ever growing, traumatized world of trouble connected, global troubles, the haunting shouts of “Black Lives Lives”, continues to echo in the back of everyone’s mind in so many ways.  This is the essential of case of America’s matter of its’ black lives citizens.

Thereby we humbly plea and imploringly request your non-political partnership, with great thanks to you and GOD, in this matter of such!

See: The British/English Royal Family Encounters
In gratitude to him, the very popular, now late, LA British Console General, Mr. Merrick Baker-Bates, as you know, on the evening of December 11,1993, the then Prince Edward, visited my Dome Village for the homeless in downtown Los Angeles.

Present, during our discussion in the office of my personal Dome, with the Prince seated at my desk, he and I had a wonderful discussion,.
Present was Colonel, Sean O’Dwyer, his Equirey; Mr. Baker Bates and Ms. Katy Haber, MBE, Dome Village manager.  See: “The Prince and Pauper” news article.

To our great delight, your younger brother graciously invited to visit him someday in Buckingham Palace, of which we did twice, and once at Windsor Castle, where we played a match with the Cricket team of HRM, Queen Elizabeth II on at her pitch/oval, and he hosted a party reception in the Her Majesties Club House.

This visit of the British Royal Family to Dome Village was followed by the then, Crown Prince of Wales, His Royal Highness, now King Charles III, on November 5,1994.

After visiting several, primarily American Africans, US black citizens’, social services programs in South Central LA, while hosting a “full house” meeting in the LA Library auditorium, being aware of the efficacy of Dome Village, of all the noted dignitaries present, to my utter surprise, the Crown Prince acknowledged me, asking that I stand and be appreciated.

To say the least…I was “gob smacked”, as was everyone else. It was so beautiful!  It was like a feature film movie!

After the meeting, during the reception, in sight of everyone, His Royal Highness walked to me, shook my hand, and while directly thanking me, we proceeded to have a discussion with hopes of someday meeting again, to continue it.

Then in the summer of 1995, Ms. Katy Haber, my two sons, Thee and Uriel Isaac and myself, created the first, all American-born Cricket team, dubbed, “The LA Krickets”, which consisted primarily of American African, black homeless men residing at Dome Village, to exhibition tour England since 1926.

And again, thanks to Mr. Baker-Bates, Prince Edward endorsed it/us, and the succeeding other 3 Cricket Exhibition journeys, two to England, and one Australia. There was much media attention given to our venture, even a proposed from Disney, a feature film movie about it.

As the follow up to the LA Krickets, we then established the Compton Cricket Club’s (CCC) “The Homies & the POPz, which consisted primarily of Hispanic/Latino/Mexican teenage boys, and a few, homeless black men of Dome Village, in a practice of what we define as “Cross Generational Mentoring”.  See: “Cricket Outta Compton”

Northern Ireland – British Government Cricket/Hurley Diplomacy For The 1998, Stalled “Good Friday Peace Accord”
What is perhaps, the most significant of these journeys, second only to the Krickets, during the CCC, H&Pz journey to England in autumn of 1999, we visited Belfast, Northern Ireland, where at Stormont we introduced MP Gerry Adams and the now late, Mr. Martin McGuinnes, later becoming Prime Minister, both of whom were leaders of Sinn Fein, to Cricket.
See:  “We Love The BIG 3 Pics” of this history changing, influencing day at Stormont, Belfast.

On behalf of the British peoples as peace offering in trust, we presented these gentlemen with a Cricket bat and ball, and from them to the Uslter Union leaders, a Hurley bat and ball.

Such was the unprecedented “out of the box”, unexpected strategy that thawed the frozen-stalled, 1998, “Good Friday Peace Accord or Agreement”.
As you know, this “freezing was due to distrust by each side.

Thankful to The Most High, with the consent of HRH Prince Edward, your Mom, the Queen, the Home Office, including, the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, the great, legendary, the late, Hon. Ms. Mo Mowlam, who initiated the Peace Accord process, and is also indeed, the unsung heroine of this grand story; plus, of course, the approval of Sinn Fein, the political part of Mr. Adams and Mr. McGuinness, we entered into the affairs of the stalled Peace Accord, and warmly thawed it, thereby moved it forward to action in January 2,000.  Verifiable via the Home Office.

For their good and courageous work, we would like to someday have Adams, McGuiness and Mowlam awarded the Noble Peace Prize as an example of courage. See attached news clips and videos, etc.

Your gracious endorsement in our new Good Will to American, England and the world, will inspire-“fuel” another, even greater effort to the success of the wonderful blessing that we intend to have showered like falling rain upon all peoples the world. “Glory To The Highest. Peace On Earth. Good Will To All Human Beings.”

Thanks kindly for your continued interest, consideration, and we look forward to further strategic discussions for mutual participation in this effort for civil, humane society, for which the Grand ole English village Game was created.

For the Peace and Good Will on earth, “Let the Grand Ole’ Game Begin…again…in America”

The blessings of The Most High GOD Is upon us all,

Ted Hayes
