I have spent the last 40 years understanding that my spiritual father was Malcolm X. It was reading about him at age 17 that initially helped me understand the problems I'd experienced in my short life at that time. In those early years I saw the courageous warriors of the Black Panther Party, who evolved just minutes from where I myself grew up, as my older siblings. Women like Ms. Shirley Graham DuBois and Amy Garvey(s) were my mothers and from those associations I eventually began to appreciate the massive contributions of people like Kwame Nkrumah, Seku Ture, Amilcar Cabral, etc. Thus, my decision to dedicate my life to helping build capacity for those ideas to come into practical reality.
