" I grew
up in the midst of the Civil Rights Era and
was blessed with a father who was very active
in the movement. There were many nights that
I attended various rallies with my Mother and
watched intently as my father exercised his
oratorical skills to either calm down an unruly
crowd or inspire apathetic people to act. Furthermore,
my father and I would watch the political conventions
to hear extraordinary orations. I soon realized
that most of our great leaders are also great
speakers.
What started
off as simply a young man emulating his father
grew into a personal gift for which I have been
recognized on numerous occasions. Public Speaking
has become more than just a topic of interest
to me. It is now my hobby and avocation."
