World Cat is fantastic resource to look for materials anywhere in the world. You can search local libraries, college libraries, and more. It is a great tool for anyone looking to dig deep and get you fingers dusty. You should be reading books. There are many areas of study that require you to get up in the stacks and sit with a text until you find what you need. All of our new media is great, but it is not a complete picture. Find what you need.

A Message Before You Go:
The city of Chicago has a lot of stories to tell. It should not be overlooked or undervalued in your study fo the Black story of this country. I have had to fortune to connect with the city in the last two years and I look forward to spending more time there in the future. This weekend I spent time connecting with my brother’s over few days. The maintenance of your relationships is highly important. We can take for granted that the ones we love, including our friends, are static objects. Locked in at that time we met and remaining how we remember them forever. The truth is that the world and everything in it is moving, growing, and changing. We have to be intentional and present in our relationships. Nothing matters more. As a man you do not exist on an island formed of just your personal identity. We are a piece of the whole. Be great, be righteous, and be with your brothers.
