b'Back over the past century and a half, the Black Community has been fighting for the rights and standing up for all mankind.\\xa0 We have learned in history of many revered black leaders who have came to the forefront to speak out against the black race being considered\\xa0not equal to the majority.\\xa0 With that being said, have we forgotten what our predecessors fought hard for during those years of wanting to have equality?\\xa0 Are as a people conditioned to bow down and not speak out for what is right? Are we scared to take back our communities and our place of businesses? Why do our black organizations appear to have less of a voice when it comes to the black community? We will also discuss Roland Martin and his suspension from CNN and Cody Smith, a senior at Gainesville High School, who\\xa0will be\\xa0the first\\xa0Valedictorian of the high school in its history.\\xa0 However, the high school is attempting to have this young man share this accomplishment with one of his white classmates due to the school not wanting to have a black Valedictorian.'
