We had no more courage than Harriet Tubman or Marcus Garvey had in their times. We just had a more vulnerable enemy.
With guys I revere like Marcus Garvey or Malcolm X their look is less about style than purpose and the expression of beauty. It wasn't just about being noticed you know?
In high school I discovered myself. I was interested in race relations and the legal profession. I read about Lincoln and that he believed the law to be the most difficult of professions.
