My man, this is the best thing I have read from you yet. Mainly because it puts into perspective the kind of parent you are. I think we have that in common. Kids don't learn by telling them things, you have to plant seeds, water the seeds and provide the sunlight... they have to grow the seeds. I think what you did here was masterful. 11 is still young to grasp some of the things that happened during civil rights, and you framed it perfectly. You framed X perfectly. My hat off to you sir.

On a side note, X and King are two of my favorite people in history for two completely different reasons. X because of what you highlighted in this story. He made mistakes, he did bad things and went to prison. He was at the bottom and worked his way all the way to the top. He did it by changing his life and dedicating his life to learning and in a belief greater than him. He was a masterful speaker and one of the toughest men of his time. At a time when tough men grew on trees. King on the other hand, I respect, almost above all others because of his desire to affect change through peace. He did it too. He was brilliant beyond even his own understanding. Two incredible men living during one of the most challenging times in American History.

It sounds like you are a wise man, and I am very happy to follow you and get to know you through your posts on Steemit. I appreciate what you are doing to help raise the youth and our future. I also appreciate your ongoing support on my posts. I really means a lot.
