...It is with great sadness in receiving this news, while understanding that 'None Of Us Is Getting Out Alive!'

It's also sad to know that this great man will not be with us in this new fight...this general of course, would have been the first to fight on the front lines of racial injustice.

Rest In Peace "Brother Gregory!" I'll most certainly miss you!

Thank you for posting this Brother Deacon Ron Gray...

In Peace,

'G'
