Rest in Power. I knew his name, but did not know of his work post civil rights work. He built what eventually became Upward Bound. That was a big deal for a lot of black kids who came up in 70's and 80s

Not only does it hurt to see my heroes fall, but the wound is deepened by watching a new younger generation not give a shit.

I salute you and your life Dr. Vivian.

I agree.

The hard truth is, if you are a part of Gen X, we are part of the reason they don’t give a f*ck or appear not to. We are the generation between them and the Baby Boomers. Our responsibility is to make them aware to indeed give a f*ck.

I know you are doing your part. I know I am doing my part. We got to bring to task why our other brothers and sisters in our generation are not doing there’s.

You're so right brother. Actually I'm the last of the boomers, 1963. My 18 year old nieces not only don't know who Rev. Vivian, or Rep. Lewis or even Jesse Jackson. They didn't even know who Mark Twain was?!?!?!?! Not stupid kids mind you. Both in college with decent grades.
