They must come to us today as Black Leaders representing the welfare of Black people. We won't follow any leader today who comes on the basis of political party.

So many things Iâ€™ve never done, but oh, how Iâ€™ve been loved. And, if such things were to be, Iâ€™d live a thousand lives as me, to be loved so exponentially.”
