The purpose of this blog is for people to be able to recognize and understand cultural and social developments in the United States, based upon the lifelong journey of an African American activist, educator, artist, and retired pro boxer. Sometimes there will be "guest" postings from prominent artists, analysts, scholars, journalists, and other such thinkers. I certainly welcome contributions that will enhance dialogue in a number of areas. In that context, this blog is interactive.
