AKA Haki
Madhubuti wrote
Tough Notes: Letters to Young Black Men in 2002. this is important
because it is a response to the real world of those men and women locked
out of the "so called" system of freedom. I believe it is an
effort to free their (and our ) minds, which is the only place where we
can be truly free to the knowledge of self and how to have a positive
response to where we are here and now.
