Yes, TheOne, that is a great song. It's time we diffuse Black history and culture like its never been done before.

I never had the chance to meet or shake Jesse Jackson's hand when I lived in the U.S. except for Henry Louis Gates Jr and Cornel West too. The rest I've shaked hands with by chance were either Athletes(like Carl Lewis) or musicians/singers like Ashford&Simpson who sang the famous song "solid, solid as a rock",...also with Mary J Blidge, thats about it if my memory serves me right. And oooh LL.Cool J as well, shaked hands with him.
And of course I visited MLK(ATL), MalcolmX(NY), Bruce Lee, Nirvana singer kurt cobain and Jimi Hendrix tombs when I made a trip to Seattle.
lol, now next time I'm in the U.S I'll make sure to visit Jesse Jackson's tomb. RIP!! Previous Message
Great choice!
The second time I saw Jesse at a Manhattan High school after he returned from a trip to South Africa and repeating the need for tougher sanctions, he had the crowd repeating "I Am Somebody"..
Lol, we were into it and repeated it loudly!!
RIP Rev JESSE JACKSON!!
