Dr. Ron Daniels echoed my thoughts from earlier about Black people always being the conscious of this country. I was reflecting about the significance of Hurricane Katrina and how it illustrated to the world how Black people still suffer in this country. The fact that our leaders, architects and giants are converging on this city for the State of the Black World on the heels Barrack Obama’s historic election serves as a reminder to the world that there is still work to do amongst ourselves in order for us to continue to make collective progress. The conference has been appropriately intimate thus far, making for a good teacher to student ratio as we continue to receive guidance in the struggle for our complete Liberation as a people. Change is beautiful isn’t it?
