The Thinking Black Man
As a Black Man in America, my eyes must be aimed inwards, outwards, and upwards. The truth is sometimes ugly and it is sometimes beautiful – but it is always a matter of perception and perspective.
"Not to be cheered by praise, not to be grieved by blame, but to know thoroughly one's own virtues or powers are the characteristics of an excellent man. "
