Fear is the NO.1 enemy of the Black community. On the day Shaka Sankofa (fka Gary Graham) was executed (June 22, 2000), I was the last person to speak to him in his holding cell on Death Row in Huntsville, Texas. He told me something I will never forget, "Brother Muhammad, death is a compliment to life. They make it something to fear so that they can control us. Non-cooperation with evil is an obligation. To be an effective leader you must be willing to pay the price."
