"Mad Respect"
On this special day that we remember Martin Luther King, Jr. I think it important that we also pay homage to one of the numerous icons on whose shoulders that he, and so many others, firmly entrenched their footing.
Frederick Douglas!!
"Mad Respect"
was written as a tribute to this man who voraciously ensured that the content of his eloquent messages was heard throughout a nation that considered his kind only three-fifth's human. His grace enamored many. But more importantly, his commitment to the cause of his people was instrumental in changing the mindset of a nation. For certain, he hardened the hearts of just as many, However, that did not deter him from gracing stages, occupying minds, with a message that resounds throughout the land...even today.
So, when listening to one of the numerous orators of today...remember ...
OUR SPIRIT LIVES!!!
PEACE!!!
