Jesse read a tweet that Joe Hicks died Sunday night, August 28, at 75 years old. He was a Los Angeles-based activist, former liberal, former communist, had worked at the ACLU, MLK's SCLC (Southern Christian Leadership Conference) in L.A. Jesse remembered debating him at West L.A. College when he was a liberal. But then he became a prominent black conservative. He spoke out against the blacks' & liberal lies against George Zimmerman in the Trayvon Martin self-defense killing. Joe was born into a poor South L.A. family. Jesse last saw Joe at the town hall on race relations on Megyn Kelly's show on Fox News in July 2016. Lesson from Joe Hicks: Be patient with those who are wrong; they may come around. Love your enemies and be kind to those who are cruel to you.
