Our Legacy

I leave you love.
I leave you hope.
I leave you the challenge of developing confidence in one another.
I leave you a thirst for education.
I leave you a respect for the uses of power.
I leave you faith.
I leave you racial dignity.
I leave you a desire to live harmoniously with your fellow men.
I leave you finally a responsibility to our young people.

The masses of our young people are still underprivileged, ill housed, impoverished and victimized by discrimination.

​The freedom gates are half ajar. We must pry them fully open... (for) a world of peace, progress, brotherhood, and love.
