Historical ones!
Again, like I said earlier on, these pics full me with sadness cause they betray how far down we've sank in terms of Black quality leadership.
Right now we are being led by folks like Rev Al Sharpton, who to my mind remains a con man (don't forget Sharpton was an FBI snitch at one time - there's a video of one of his meetings with the fbi out there). But whenever we bring this up some black folks get uncomfortable and want to chop off our heads! Anyway...
Kwame Ture used to throw out slogans like "reading is revolutionary" at us. And he was serious.
Sadly, I was not mature enough to really understand & appreciate Stokely Carmichael.
Guys like Stokely, Huey, Ho Chi Minh, Bob Moses, Jesse, George Jackson, Malcolm, Betty, Angela, Assata, especially Dr King, used to be voracious readers in addition to being on-the-ground activists/warriors and organizers.
Very few of today's so-called Black leaders meet that standard; and don't even get me started on today's Black intellectuals whose sole ambition is to be on tv talking safe insipid pablum shit.
