This is a great man who deserves more respect than those of you get on YouTube look up those people who you don't like and talk bullshit about them. He came to my school the tenth this month to celebrate the 50yr anniversary of my school becoming diversified. Just like Whites, Hispanics and Asians having a history blacks do to. We have the right to find out about ours just like whites can look at theirs in EVERY history class that we have been in since we started history. RESPECT AND LISTEN!!!!!
