Since the start of the Occupy Wall Street movement I've been captured by the opportunity to complete the unfinished business of the Civil Rights movement. Yes, I believe that the Occupy Movement offers Black America an opportunity to address income inequality in a way that was not possible during our Civil Rights struggles of the 1960's. There is a historical reality that has found Black America locked into the American underclass that continues to produces generations of Black families condemned to life cycles of poverty.
I've been personally involved in the Occupy movement since November. I marched and protested in the Civil Rights movement of the 1960's. Before the Occupy Movement, I know of no better vehicle that has presented itself that affords our leaders and communities an opportunity to united behind an idea that can change America for the better.
Please share your questions and answers to the proposition that "the Occupy Movement can empower Black America". Of course, Occupy is destined to empower the 99%.

LOS ANGELES - Coroners on Sunday completed their autopsy on the body of singer Whitney Houston and confirmed that she was found in the bathtub of her Beverly Hills hotel room, but said the cause of death would not be determined until more lab tests were completed. Ed Winter, assistant chief coroner for Los Angeles County, revealed little about the autopsy at a news conference, but said medical examiners found no visible signs of trauma or foul play.
