STEVE COKELY (R.I.P.) & WHAT HE TAUGHT ME

I 1st met STEVE COKELY in Dr Waymon McLaughlin's (1st Black to receive a PhD in METAPHYSICS in the United States) Logic class when he came as a guest to speak @ North Carolina A & T State University.

He had on a pair of overalls & one tooth missing. I said, "Who does this nigga think he is?" In the next FIVE MINUTES, he became one of my HERU'S!!! (That was in 1994)

He taught ALL OF US to "PUT A MAN ON THE DOOR" to make sure our women would never be attacked. He told us to KILL ANYTHING THAT ATTACKED OR HARMED OUR WOMEN because they were our most prized possesion.

Over the years, we grew VERY close PERSONALLY!!! HE IS A PART OF MY ORIGINAL FABRIC AS A FREEDOM FIGHTER, HEALER, HISTORIAN, RESEARCHER, MAN, SON, FATHER, LEADER, SOILDER, EVERY FUCKING THING I AM OR WILL BE, INCLUDING A GOD FOR WHAT IS RIGHT & LIVES IN MY HEART EVERY SECOND OF EVERY DAY!!!

When you hear me barking @ a nigga or blanking out, it is his spirit living through me. I will never be ashamed of what made me!!!

This photo is entitled "FIREPOWER" because that is exactly what you are looking @ when you look in the eyes of each individual in this picture.

WE WILL HURT YOU IF YOU FUCK WITH OUR WOMEN!!!

WE WILL NOT COMPROMISE!!!

I LOVE YOU STEVE COKELY!!!

IS THIS LIFE & THE NEXT!!!

LONG LIVE THE BOGARD!!!
