I can't believe the sun is going down and I am just getting around to mentioning resources. If you did not contribute to the Black Campaign you can go to blackcampaign.org or support a young person to attend the Black Youth Vote. We mobilized on the strength of our desire for change and the Black community gave time, money, creativity, and passion. This is movement and it is bottom up but make no mistake, if we are to move the agenda forward it is essential that we get our priorities in order. Like it or not brothers will have to pull up their pants that is a giant first step and will signal to the world that we have embraced change that we can all appreciate. Next we have to knit together families. Mend, blend what ever we need to do to build relationships that are strong and healthy...the type of environment needed to rear children. Focus on family and finances is key along with community. It is all about the village. We must support institutions and businesses so that we create jobs that anchor an care for people especially elders. We must discipline our children so that their creativity is channeled into constructive enterprise. The election today is a great and historic event if we are to embrace the full significance we must let this day usher in a new era of industry, education, and advancement for Black America that permeates all of America. It is a good sign the markets are soaring let's make sure we stay in the black.
