Empowerment Requires Unaccustomed Unity

Talking about Black unity has fallen out of favor, but the need for unity is as great, if not greater, than ever. Black unity is a perquisite for sustainable change, but it has become a dust-covered relic.  Bastardized remnants remain, but are found mostly in venues that do not advance our collective interest.  Blacks continue to emulate Whites’ individualistic and materialistic values without commensurate benefits.  Nonetheless, unity is essential for effectively working with each other and others.
