OUR COMMON GROUND<p>I was a comrade of Paul Coates in our youthful pursuit for freedom and justice. I remember the night that his, now son, Sr. Professor of Journalism at Howard University and philosopher author was born. I beam when I read his work, and hear his stinging and steel truth about the world in which we live. Read him to understand so many things through the eyes of boy who grew up to be a truthteller. </p><p><a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/BlackMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BlackMastodon</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/TaNehis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TaNehis</span></a> Coates <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/TheMessage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TheMessage</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Roots" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Roots</span></a></p>
