I didn't but neither have I visited my father's grave. For me... the best way to celebrate a life is to follow in that individual's footsteps. I believe I'm doing that with both my father and Marcus Garvey.

  Thanks for being personal, real and authentic in sharing yourself.
  In your response to other questions you spoke a lot about "WE", we and we.
  "I" is the only person who ever get anything do - I the first person, the first step, the first word - everything begins with I.
  "WE" never does anything that "I" am not doing.
  There is no WE without I.

  very true. I think we often use "We" in the hopes that "We" will catch on to what "I" is doing.

  The opportunity and the take away from this conversation is for I and YOU to begin being undaunted in our stand and commitment.
  
  I am the only person I can account for or control.
  My actions and ways of must be to inspire and motivate others - lead.
  
  Stop using the pronoun we (third person).
  
  Begin speaking for I (first person), my commitment in service of WE.
  
  I NEVER DOES ANYTHING THAT WE IS NOT DOING.
  WE IS ALWAYS WAITING FOR I TO BEGIN.
  WE WILL NEVER BEGIN UNTIL I BEGINS.
  
  We is an accumulation of I's (like links in a chain) each link, each I has to be held accountable is service of WE, the common purpose.
  
  So, what are we doing when I am doing nothing?
  
  Thanks for allowing be to be redundant.
