    Pasty white guy here. I come back to this video once every few months to watch a Jedi master of civil rights own the room. Mr Gregory should be taught in schools. And his timing should be taught in music/drama class.

    met him once, walking up Pennsylvania Ave, in my hometown Wash/DC...towards George Washington Univ campus. I was headed to work in Georgetown...he was headed towards the school. I slowed down and extended my hand to shake his "hey, Mr Gregory...its an honor, Sir"...he warmly shook my hand and comes back with "How you doin', son?...trust me, its more of an honor meeting you"...he walked away, waving over his shoulder. Never forgot that...and it is one of the great moments of my life, truth be told. If its a big deal, meeting someone like Jay-Z...why cant it be a bigger deal, meeting someone like Mr Gregory, who helped pave a way for a Jay-Z?

    I know right...He is an inspiration to not just grow old, but wise. We all need surround ourselves with elders and babies more. If we did so we would never lose perspective on what is really important. Life is too precious and too short (so to speak) to rob, kill, and steal from each other at the rate we do in this world.
    Great comments and parallel you expressed.

      I pushed message of Chemtrails being sprayed in our skies beginning in 2003. It was 2009 when Prince realized the COMPLETE TRUTH and he wrote "Dreamer". Merle Haggard wrote "What I Hate" exposing chemtrails and Government corruption. I posted online many times in the last 2 years "Prince is next" but NOBODY to date has contacted me with "Wow KC, you told us so". I was taught when I was a child "The truth will set you free". It was in the last 10 years I leaned the TRUTH will "GET YOU KILLED" in this country (and esp in Mississippi where I am)
      I am KC and I approve this message
