what got me is this…our civil rights leader stands among the highest of leadership.
where everyone is entitled to have the substance of educated means , Library,museums
black awarenes Org. TV, Bet, Tyler perry. Oprah and so on..but beneath what standards allows
all men/woman of color the History to keep us, as a people unpdated on what don’t b revealed..
yet we are still left n the dark of study, and when a college Grad, with all his functional magnified
delivers the News on Martin’s day.. suddenly all eyes are open..what pays him attention..One day
outta a year… ask yourselves ..why this is.. Afro Americans…what u don’t know educated… finds out themselves..research is available…people..Pay yourselves a visit .. to what’s open access every dayof our lives…learning…it”s how the world goes around…not how u educate it.. become it's TEACHER ..peace..Create..
