I've fallen in love with this song tonight. Heard it before but i've fallen for it tonight and having to play every version i can find. Love seeing what a cosmopolitan crowd this local watts event had. Whats watts like 15 years on from that video? Very different i imagine

A former Communist, Nation of Islam F.O.I and now a Sunni Muslim and a black man 58 years old. Some have called me a "militant" (another word for black and proud). What I want are people like this of all ethnic groups with Brother Jamil AlAmins picture in the back.
