SOME THINGS AIN'T CHANGED, BUT SOME THINGS HAVE #222


Don Imus has shown us some things ain't changed.

"I used to walk down the main street in Louisville, Kentucky, looking at how the NEGROES COULDN'T EAT HERE, or how the Whites looked at 'em after the Negroes had been working three hundred and ten years for America, working sixteen hours a day without a payday, FIGHTING ALL THE WARS FOR AMERICA."

But Cassius, some things like Louisville Kentucky, HAVE CHANGED! Having just arrived here, not only are we eating and going to most places that we want, I'm proud to say Black folks are getting paid! From Church Hill Downs to Fourth Street, to all the major hotels, we are present, we are employed and we are smiling.
