The Great One's!!!
AT THE CLOSE OF BLACK HISTORY MONTH WE CONTINUE TO ASK OUTSELVES THE QUESTION DR. KING POSED "WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?" WE MUST CONTINUE TO STUDY OUR HISTORY BEYOND THESE 28 DAYS. WE MUST STUDY ALL HISTORY TO HAVE A BETTER GRASP OF OURS. HOWEVER, WE MUST CONTINUE TO TELL OUR STORY!!! AS THE AFTERMATH OF KATRINA STILL LOOMS IN THE AIR--WE MUST NEVER FORGET THE PRICE THAT HAS BEEN PAID. YESTERDAY AND TODAY!!!
YOU KNOW THE GREAT ONE`S BELOW--THEY HAD MORE IN COMMON THAN PEOPLE WILL EVER KNOW... BELOW ARE SOME OF THEIR THOUGHTS IN THEIR OWN WORDS...
-AL HAJJ MALIK AL SHABAZZ aka BROTHER MIN. MALCOLM X
THE FUTURE BELONGS TO THOSE WHO PREPARE FOR IT TODAY.
THERE IS NO BETTER ADVERSITY. EVERY DEFEAT, EVERY HEARTBREAK, EVERY LOSS, CONTAINS ITS OWN SEED, ITS OWN LESSON ON HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR PERFORMANCE THE NEXT TIME.

YOU`RE NOT TO BE SO BLIND WITH PATRIOTISM THAT YOU CAN`T FACE REALITY. WRONG IS WRONG, NO MATTER WHO DOES IT OR SAYS IT.
-MARTIN LUTHER KING JR.
THE ULTIMATE MEASURE OF A MAN IS NOT WHERE HE STANDS IN TIMES OF COMFORT AND CONVENIENCE, BUT WHERE HE STANDS AT TIMES OF CHALLENGE AND CONTROVERSY.
BEFORE THE PILGRIMS LANDED AT PLYMOUTH, WE WERE HERE. BEFORE THE PEN OF JEFFERSON ETCHED ACROSS THE PAGES OF HISTORY THE MAJESTIC WORDS OF THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE, WE WERE HERE. IF THE INEXPRESSIBLE CRUELTIES OF SLAVERY COULD NOT STOP US, THE OPPOSITION WE NOW FACE WILL SURLEY FAIL.
A NATION THAT CONTINUES YEAR AFTER YEAR TO SPEND MORE MONEY ON MILITARY DEFENSE THAN ON PROGRAMS OF SOCIAL UPLIFT IS APPROACHING SPIRITUAL DOOM.
A NATION OR CIVILIZATION THAT CONTINUES TO PRODUCE SOFT-MINDED MEN PURCHASES ITS OWN SPIRITUAL DEATH ON THE INSTALLMENT PLAN.

Did you ever get a chance to read my article on Coretta Scott King. As a people we have to start looking at what is in front of us and instead be determined to uncover the hidden. Until we challenge ourselves to that we as a whole will seem stuck. Very dope my friend, loving the intellect!
