Become The Change That You Want
by: Herndon L. Davis
One of the most profound statements ever uttered was by Mahatma Gandhi who stated“Changing the world begins with changing yourself; you have to become the change you want to see in the world.”
I recently finished reading powerful two books targeted towards empowering urban communities that are often shut out of the American dream. The books were“Come On People” by Bill Cosby and Dr. Alvin Poussaint and“Do You” by Russell Simmons. Both books take on victim-hood issues and challenges its readers to rise abover their socioeconomic conditions in order to become victors and captains of their fate.

One particular sticking point in both books dealt with the culture of media, specifically the culture of hip hop and rap as expressed through its music and imagery.
