Good Reverend Doctor

A great soldier has passed and left behind a legacy that will be difficult for any to replicate in its purity and righteousness. He was a friend to many icons, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King, Jr., with whom he shared the conviction that much was not right with the world and went about doing the work, often along side these friends, of change. I speak of the great Ossie.Davis, an actor and an activist. His passing makes many re-visit his many accomplishments. He was the man who, along with his equally impressive wife Ruby.Dee, continuously put out screen works that spoke of the needs of common people and often marched in civil disobedience protests to tell all who would listen of the subsisting and current civil injustices. He was also an actor who shined in his roles on stage, and was a family man who set up a stable life that was not brought any negative attention.

Ossie Davis has left us and will be sent home soon in rousing ceremonies at Abyssinian Baptist Church and Riverside Church located in New York City. The services are open to the public, and undoubtedly are so per the wishes of Davis as he is a man of the people. He is a man that fought the good fight for people, common people. He and his family have seen fit to share with the public the last moments of his essence on this earth.

RIP, Good Reverend Doctor. You will be missed.
