Each day we strive to be stronger fathers, mothers, sisters, uncles and aunts. It's our duty as men and women to contest oppression at every level in life. It's time for us to take the lead showing and proving our worth and growth by being agents of advancements through education and rehabilitation, by doing so providing constructive support systems within our communities.Every day we should be able to look back on our action within suck day and reflect on a single moment where we had a profound impact on someone's life. We cannot allow our past to get in front of us and deny us of our future. We have to come together and work as one conscious force putting all of our time, energy, and dedication that's needed into rebuilding foundation that will propel us into a productive future.We must bring an end to every misconception that devalues our life in every inner city youth's mind and heart, as well as those who don't understand the life that were living. Time is of the essence, there's no time for self-doubt.Emanuel Beyah Thomas
