Thank you very much BET, second time appreciate it. I’d like to use this opportunity to say, sometime around 1835, there was a mission to turn the nation of Africa into a dominated nation. Now is the time to overturn that and go back to the royalty that we were because in order for Black lives to matter, Africa must matter. Thank you very much, appreciate it.
