Briefly met him at a local record store when I was a teen back in 1975. We took Polaroid pictures of one another. I’m not kidding. We both actually had a Polaroid camera when we met. I think it must of been some sort of promotion appearance that brought him to my local bookstore.

I just stumbled upon Glenda’s blogsite and I’m learning so much about how to get more out blogging and internet connections by reading her blog. I haven’t yet left a comment on her blog, but I plan RSS her and keep up with she’s talking about. Perhaps we’ll meet in some net space some day.

Check out his book, “Race Matters.”

Have seen her speak on several occasions and would like to know what she’s doing today.

Because I was a member of the All-African Peoples Revolutionary Party, I met Kwame Ture (formerly Stockely Carmichael during the Civil Rights and Black Power era) who was a founding member of the All African Peoples Revolutionary Party. I think Kwame passed away in 1998, and though I didn’t always agree with him on certain organizational issues, I was fortunate to have met him to have worked in the same Party he was trying to build. There’s a plethora of information out about him on the net and biography was published about him a few years ago.

I met West in San Franciso back in around 1990/91 at a Democratic Socialist meeting where Manning Marable was giving a fiery speech. West wasn’t as well groomed back then as he is now, but it was cool chatting with briefly about Christianity even though at the time I didn’t know he was a believer. I’ve also seen him in the book stores here in Sacramento a few times. His family lives here in Sacramento. It would good to take a few classes from him.

As Bakari reported we met through Tribe.net, but I’ve been tracking the brother through a number of sites. I find his committment to the Mac platform impressive as a brother (I know Black Mac Users are few and far between), and his political awareness is also much to be admired. I like that he wants to inform and educate on multiple levels, cause our community needs people like that around.

BLESS IT UP! :D

I first met sista through Tribe.net. Since she’s Apple user like me, I could tell she was cool. But really, sista seems like a very down to earth person who cares deeply about her people. I hope we get to meet some day at a Mac conference. We would have lots to talk about. I appreciate her keeping in touch with me.
