After reading CH1, a feeling of pride came over me because I encouraged and celebrated my children’s accomplishments as Mr. Johnson’s beloved mother. @DrMargenaXan thank you for honoring his remarkable mother. She deserved that recognition.
As a child, my father would tell me he would give me $5 for every ‘A�� I had on my report card. That never happened. Since neither of my folks took my education seriously neither did I. I yearned to have parents who loved me.
I read Ch1 of “Empire” and honestly, I wish my parent(s) had instilled the absolute need for education as Mrs. Gertrude insisted with her son. My parents didn’t care about us much as children.
Today I’m reading CH1 of “Empire” by @DrMargenaXan where I’m going to learn more about the man with the vision of elevating black Americans. After the honorable opening pages, I’m too invested in learning more about this historic figure.
The white media overlooked a man who provided media coverage for black Americans. Not a surprise there, but the very people who graced the magazine pages…what happened?
