Ali taught us to be unapologetic. We learned Black Power is Freedom. Kareem taught us to keep it copacetic. We learned that community’s our Kingdom. King taught us to be better by Forgiving. We learned to live by the principles the southern Christians Claimed. Malcolm taught us the price of Living. We learned our culture despite the blood of slaveowners from whom we’re Named.
