A good man. Always wished people like he and Cornel West were appointed by the media as the "voice of the black community" instead of buffoons like Jackson and Sharpton. Of course we couldn't be so lucky. RIP.

One of the few guys in that movement I like and respected. Such a shame he never got into congress like he wanted to do at one point, he could have done some good.

He hosted one of my favorite SNL episodes back in 1977.  Was rather unafraid to be un-pc. One of the more un-apologetic shows of the 70's era SNL and he was in the middle of it.
