Today is one of the saddest days of my life. I lost my youngest brother yesterday because he just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. 

Yesterday as I was beginning my day, a voice from within was telling me to open my voice mails from the night before. And another voice was telling me to get on with my job of generating new business. That's when I heard that my brother had been shot and killed in a cross-fire between two young blacks shooting at each other.

I would like to ask everyone reading this note to sit down with their loved ones, hold them close and tell them you love them. In fact we all should get in the habit of coming together as black people, talking to our young men. Guns should be banned!

Can you  imagine, my moms raised six of us brothers by herself and now I there is only two of us left.  Me and another younger brother. It's a bad thing to outlive your younger siblings!
