My point is that power concedes to nothing less than a credible demand. Our community has slipped into complacency and ignorances due to nummerous reasons amoung them the decline of public education and male head of households. We can not depend on the votes of African American Women to bring about the changes needed to save our Black youth or to make corporate America change it mind about who they are going to hire. - Dwight W.
