I want to say to all of the Charlies of the world who are erroneously, yet “declaratively,” conveying that my father’s influence and the way he is honored are unwarranted:
I’m clear on why you do it.
It’s the same reason now that it was then.
It’s the reason that led the government to assassinate him.
It’s a desire to make the ideology of white supremacy, inclusive of economic disparity and militarism to protect unrighteousness empire, a consistent and persistent implementation.
Daddy stood against that, envisioned the eradication of racism, militarism and poverty, and was working on his vision becoming a reality.
The work continues…we won’t stop.

Today we honor the memory of all those we lost on September 11, 2001. May we never forget their stories – and the bravery of our first responders and troops who sacrificed so much.
