On February 6, 1999 I had the pleasure of interviewing civil rights icon Rosa Parks on her 86th birthday. During this “I can’t believe I’m talking to Rosa Parks” conversation, I was amazed to hear about how the mother of the modern day civil rights movement learned to how to email in her 80’s. Inspired by this historical conversation, I established the grassroots educational non-profit Mother Of Many, on August 12, 1999. America was on the brink of entering the 21st century and I had a dream of making history by bridging the digital divide between the civil rights generation, the hip-hop generation and their children as well as building bridges of peace and unity between youth, law enforcement and communities of all ethnic backgrounds.
