i would like for you to come out in support of my efforts to keep the spirit of Dr  martin Luther King alive and well. If you have never heard me speak as Dr.  king, you need to. If you have heard me, then you know you need to bring someone else for a transformational experience. I will be presenting the last speech King ever made publicly as he will murdered the next day. The I've been to the mountaintop" speech which bears a profound message for anyone born after 1960. and of course a reminder to anyone who was born before that.

 
Come out and hear the prophecy of his death, but more importantly hear the message he left w/the world knowing it was his last opportunity to speak to us. As many of you know I have been doing the words and works of Dr. king for many years. What most of you don't know is this journey began over two decades ago at a small church. I will be returning to that church this Sunday to bring this work full circle. i want you to be there.
 
here are the details:
 
this Sunday, April 27, 2008 at 4:00pm, greater Phillips will be celebrating its 98Th church anniversary and i have been invited as a special guest speaker. this is my mom;s church
 
the church will be serving down home soul food dinner for free from 2:00pm -to 3:30pm for all interested.
 
there should be a camera crew coming out that day to record the mlk for a larger project I am working on. I would love to have a nice, diverse, conscious audience represented and the camera crew may be interested in interviewing a few people on Dr. king or on me. i encourage my friends and family to participate and be honest in the interview if you are so inclined
 
this is a pivotal point in history, just come out and here what i as Dr king have to say

and none of that crap about not coming to Compton, check the news there is more violence in Hollywood than there is in Compton and if you are afraid of the people you percieve to live in Compton...all the more reason for you to hear what Dr.king has to say, because your perceptions are probably wrong. it is safe and a block away from the sheriff's station. I grew up there. get over it quick and come out in support. I will assure your safety and security
