Brother let us really tell the truth: Black Voices against Black anti-Jewish actions have been and are stronger than Jewish Voices against Jewish anti-Black actions! Prophetic Blacks & Jews have been telling the truth about the cowardly silence in any community!

Denial of any human Holocaust is a crime against humanity. Black & Jewish people- they sometimes overlap- are 2 of the most hated people in the world. I hope my brothers Ye & Kyrie will aspire to the self-love & compassion of Malcolm X! The comic genius of bro Dave is a 1st step!

Dr. Cornel West had some great things to say about our School when he visited for Commencement. Read what The Star-Ledger and NJ.com had to say about it. nj.com/opinion/2022/0
