The IMC 10-year anniversary was a real eye opener for this old time civil rights warrior, that worked had in the inner city of Philadelphia, first as a student rights protester. While helping to organize and participate in the 1967 march of the school district board , then located at 21st and the Ben Franklin Parkway. At age 16 i was scared to death, while attending the notorious Thomas A. Edison High School 8th Lehigh ave.

Being busted to promote segregation in the early 60's to attending the Million Man March, then few yrs later training the security team for the Million Woman March October 1997. Acted as a body guard for the leaders of the Save our land community patrol, while taking over houses by families that were homeless.

Many more activities, however, attending this event, It gave me a better understanding of what a free press stands for....even though i was a member of the north philly free press, meeting the leadership and a host of others that work daily to get the word out locally and internationally.

This is the real deal, I must refocus and get to work while spreading awareness to people in my circle. To be in the company of the team from Philly and New York, I had a up front and personal experience. to be a part of this is life changing and could take your life, while on the front lines of real stories of injustice anywhere in the world!
