Negro has left the building. N!gga here now.

The 40 Leon Street location of the John D. O'Bryant African-American Institute will soon be closing its doors and this shT has me feeling utterly depressed to the umpteenth degree. I played a minor role in the whole student activism thing five years ago and to reach the point where the 'free-standing' status of the Institute as we know it cease to exist is just real emotion-inducing. I guess I'll hae to give a whole lot of background later on the building and what went down 5/6 years ago, but trust...this Saturday will be a time of join, pain, elation, and distress. We will commemorate the legacy of peoples whose shoulders have been stood upon and those who have trailblazed new paths for future generations. I better start snapping my flicks before this b!tch goes up in smoke.
