I believe that all African Americans as a race, have not given up because of dignity and the fact that we have came so far up in society to stop fighting for our right. Have you ever heard the phrase “stay woke” or “black lives MATTER”? Why not “all lives MATTER”? Even though our generation gap is enlarging, and we are now “integrated” and “racially profiled” we still have to come together and remember where we are from because it is once again too late to give up now. Thank you.
