Instead of buying shoes, etc. for a couple of hundred of dollars they should buy books of substance for their kids which will benefit them in the long term. I am a jurist. I saw this summer a huge TV (that I don’t have even if I can afford it) in the house of a poor Black woman. Her daughter who is 7, does not have books at home. And of course, the teachers placed her in special classes. She has no intellectual stimulation at home!!! I recommend to the entire Black community for their kids the book of Dr. Ben Carson, Think Big. He read two books per week since his childhood and he had to write reports about what he was reading. It paid off and now he is a renowned physician worldwide. The secret of success is hard work. It is time to understand that there are no short cuts in life. Frederick Douglass understood this a long time ago. We have other great examples of all this. So, again it is time for us to wake up and smell the coffee!!!
