A Letter to Young Black America
Thursday, 20 September 2007 will mark its appropriate place in Black history just as many dates before it. Another march added to the repertoire of injustice stampedes faced in America. Organizations and individuals from across the United States have organized in order to provide body (moral) and financial support to the 5 young men who'll face trial and to Mychal Bell who has already stood trial. During today's society such an event should NOT be occurring. However, due to the complacent attitudes of young Black America "we" find ourselves in this re-occurring condition. Today I call upon `Young Black America' and request you to "stop wearing stunna shades, before you revert back into slaves".
