Note: As we celebrate the Christmas and New Year seasons, let us not forget God and his role in our lives. Let us say a special prayer for my Florida A&M University family, especially the Marching 100, and the family of drum major Robert Champion.

Nowhere in God's vision and in his chosen creator of the FAMU Marching 100 -- Dr. William P. Foster, was the practice of hazing an acceptable behavior. Let us honor the legacy of those that have come before us and that contributed positively to building our HBCU institutions and organizations, so that the youth of today, can see God's glory and achieve greatness in his honor.

Without God, we are nothing!

It is an honor of the highest order to participate in these bands, ensembles, sports teams and attend college --  to earn degrees in our chosen fields of interest, and to become contributing members of society. Let us not forget who we are representing when we are blessed with these opportunities.

There is much we can learn from this documentary of the Fisk Jubilee Singers and the legacy they continue to carry forth.  Be blessed; and Merry Christmas! Amen
