“Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Incorporated!” That brought back memories, whoo!
I will view the videos and read the articles, but thought I’d chime in to say that “Because of my love for you,” is precisely the reason many Black people love (I know you used ‘like’) him.
There have simply been too many periods when we have needed to here someone of stature, someone educated and cultured, someone who has a national platform and the ear both of his own people, those with whom he worships, and national leaders, for the body politic of Black folks to turn away from that, the sweetest thing one ever hopes to hear.
There have always been others telling us we are loved, with messages of a reward in the sweet hereafter, as long as we endure the suffering of now.
It is a powerful message to hear someone say to the collective, you are all soldiers in an army founded on, steeped in, and grown from the seed of…love.
I am wishing you peace, @Applecake.
