I Dare You!

I can't deny that I am passionate about politics and my community.  My passion for and growing involvement in these interests have been escalating now for a several years.  In my earlier years, I was not as focused as I would like to have been, especially looking  back.  But my education came late as did my personal growth, thirst for knowledge and the desire to share it.  Nonetheless, this is where I am!  I am aroused, I am hungry and I am aware.  But most of all, I realize that I care and I dare you to do the same.

I dare you to forgo shopping at Macy's and instead shop for a way to improve and become an active partner in your community.

I dare you to be as interested in your community as in keeping up with The Joneses.

I dare you to teach your children appreciation for the black image and respect it!

I dare for your support of black business to equal your support of other businesses.

I dare you to realize that in order for African-Americans to improve our image, our communities, our economic, political and social status - with increased unity - we must become more involved in the political process and be more aware of what's going on in and around our neighborhoods.  It's time for us to stop looking the other way while there's so much work to be done.

I dare you to be aware.

I DARE YOU TO CARE!
