My BlackInAmerica.com Profile
Why Are You Concerned About Black America:
Black America is my community. I can't afford not to be concerned. We owe it to our ancestors, who sacrificed so much, and to ourselves, to make our community one in which we can learn, laugh, live, build successful businesses, raise families, in positive, fun, enriching and most of all SAFE environments.
