  • It might help if some of the greatest American role-models could keep it in their pants. Sets a wonderful example for kids in the ghetto...

  • His contributions were more worthwhile than many understand.

    This speech shows his never ending consciousness..

    He reminds us to fearlessly move forward in righteousness and truth.

    Strong Brother Man.

    Thank you postproductiongirl for this.

  • HE MADE SOME GREAT POINTS.

  • amen!

  • Dr. Edwards points out the following facts:

    *1/3 of black males between the ages of 15-29 are under the control of courts. They are either under investigation, under arrest, on parole or on probation.

    * United States jails more of it's citizens than any other nation (2.1 million people).

    41.2% of those individuals incarcerated are black males.

    He then asks us as black people, "Who is going to stand up, analyze, and project a vision of those challenges today?"
