Quote #10
When the ceremony ended, some of the younger brothers began gravitating toward me. They told me that they respected my balance and integrity, and they had never heard anyone use history to help them understand what was happening to them in the present. They were inspired to learn more so that they, too, could lead and make a difference when they were released. (18.6)
It's awesome that Shaka is able to become a mentor to younger Black men, just like the older brothers were mentors to him. He starts learning these skills long before he leaves prison, and that's one thing that helps him prepare to mentor in his community when he leaves prison.
