I write this as the great great great grand daughter of this great man who gave a speech about who and what a Black man is,It stands today , in the year 2011. The white man has given us Feb as a month for Black History, when if really told would take every month in the year to tell what the Black man has done not only for this country but the world. Bishop Turner speech tells the story very well.

I've heard whites being called the Devil's children and always thought of it as another sign of racism and stereotypical judgments. But, when I read the messages on here from ookapeli and roscoe85cj, not to mention other comments left on youtube from white people on video's like this. I start to wonder should hope of change even be considered. I sometimes feel that most whites walk with their head high almost as if they should be praised for "just being white". Yet they seem the most evil!
