Family:
I HOPE that I am not the only one who happened to catch the Black State of the Union Address, Presided by Tavis Smiley.
I was just flipping through channels last night, and I came across C-SPAN, and happened to see Tavis Smiley speaking his mind, along with other black leaders. I mean this is and was a great start, and I firmly believe that we should all get involved. However, just the idea of a Black State of the Union address! That alone was good to see. Not to mention, it was NOTHING like the Bush State of the Union address. Unlike Bush, Tavis did not deliver a tedious speech of lies; Tavis spoke the truth. It was not just Tavis speaking; it was also; Rev. Al Sharpton, Minister Louis Farrakhan, Jesse Jackson was present, Bishop Eddie Long, Dr. David Satcher, Princeton Professor Cornel West, Tom Joyner was present, and many more. Overall, this address was something that EVERY black person should have been watching, and Tavis deserves plenty of props for this speech.
