In the Jazz Age classic protest song '(why must I be so) Black and Blue', Louis Armstrong sings,
I'm white inside, but that don't help my case
Now I turn around those lyrics to declare my own heart!
My skin may be 'white'
But inside my soul is as 'Black' as Miles Davis!
I know who I have chosen to support in my heart and soul!
I have chosen to support Louis Armstrong and Miles Davis's people!
In my heart, I'm on your side, brothers!
You go ahead and lead your community
I'm not leading here
I'm supporting
You have my support!
All of you of any underrepresented group have my support!
And that support will be my leadership!
God loves you! Each and every one!
Sincerely,
David S. Annderson
