I think you will enjoy it, I did. Very entertaining and informative about his political career and the women  he loved. I would like to see Harry Lennix play President Obama when they do a movie about him, he reminds me of Obama so much as far as coolness.

Not Adam C. Powell's son, I have seen him on CNN several times in the past. I even remember him speaking during the first time Barack won.

That's good to know. I'm going to try to bump the old thread I did on passing. I used to be critical of that notion but have since changed my thoughts about that.

This is Adam C. Powell IV, I don't think they try to pass as white, they are proud of their heritage and love, love New York just as Powell Jr. did. Now they may let people think and assume what they want, and use it to their advantage, lol. I bet they have heard some things with people assuming they are white. He represents minorities.

OMG I love it.. But he looks like a white man in my eyes. Still he was incredibly militant. Malcolm X had extreme reverence for him.
