Thinking about the combination my dad and mother made when they were together for 13 years..not the combination of turbulence at times they experienced rooted in societal issues aimed at breaking the blk family unit up in our communities..but the combination they were as a team of progressive thinking african americans ..my dad had the gift of gab..he was very charming and warm in personality, also very wise and he enjoyed teaching others..he knew the streets like the back of his hand and hustling he was good at..moms on the other hand was very cerebral..aggressive and nurturing..a proud blk woman who cow tied for no one , not even my dad..when my dad taught my mother about legal terms and legalities of civic rights my mom with her cerebral aggressive nature became as formidable as having a lawyer on the team..they made a great union in the business sense and I personally saw the two of them win many legal battles very few would have the literary and mental expertise/fortitude to win...I had the best mentally stimulating parents a young black boy in Detroit could have. They made my childhood very rich in knowledge and love..
