It's good to see someone dedicating their life to social causes. I'm a big fan of Dr. Yohuru Williams since his days as professor of History at Delaware State University. I've been recently reading his book "Rethinking the Black Freedom Movement" and it's very good. Susan - https://www.photoboothrentalssanjose.com
