there's still a mass of Black men that haven't forgotten what that day meant for them.
I think one of the biggest things that happened that day was the show of solidarity amongst that many Black men. We coulda all just shown up and stood around for 20-min...and I believe that would have been PLENTY... i'm glad more when on...but the minute I walked onto the mall and was surrounded by that many of my brethren??? shiiiiit...I was good. I didn't need to hear any speeches or nothing.
I think a lot of the Black youth would benefit from that same experience today. Sometimes you just need to be around your people, in a positive setting. Kinda like church I guess...
"Get ready..for your blessing..."
