Show the courage to challenge your leaders

People may ask themselves, �What is all this 
bickering about that is going on within the 
Black community?� Some members of our 
community apparently believe that we should 
not speak out against each other in 
public.
 
Although I do believe in cooperation and 
cohesiveness in our community whenever 
possible, I am also reminded how hard we 
Blacks have fought to get and keep the 
First Amendment right to speak our minds. 
Using fear to encourage suppression our 
ideas and criticisms is an old device that 
we should not tolerate.
