the post mentioned Mandela who was universally revered and is dead.
Sharpton is mentioned as an example of an old black man who is NOT revered universally.
the question is are there any LIVING universally revered old black men?
so far we've added Sidney, Harry and Ali to the list, it seems.
Berry might fit too but i'm not sure how much he's known.
George Clinton is not on the list b/c he's not well known - not like Poitier, Belafonte and Ali, at least.
