I may be already dead
My wrists are already red
The fish are already fed

To what happens next
Should I expose my belly
Or Kevlar my chest?

18 years ago on January 19, 1994, I was a brand new Dad to a drooling, yellow-faced, tiny-toed little boy. My namesake was both a blessing and another chance to get it right. Before he was old enough to do much more than eat and poop and cry (sometimes in that order), he taught me something extraordinary – how to love unconditionally.

Red Tails, in theaters January 20th, depicts the challenges and heroism of the Tuskegee Airmen during World War II and is produced by George Lucas, the legendary creator of Star Wars and Indiana Jones.

George Lucas has been very open in discussing his own challenges in getting this movie produced because of Hollywood’s aversion to “black” movies.
