HILL HARPER Came to my School!!!!!!!!!



He did a great job on his speech. He also talked about his two books a bit, "Letters to a Young Sister" and "Letters to a Young Brother". I was a little mad that I didn't get a posters or an autograph but hey I guess I'm more fortunate to at least see him. biggrin

I don't know who he is; I'm sure he's a good guy... but I've always found when you ask most of these Self-Help business speaker types what it is they do that they attribute their success to it almost always boils down to their Self-Help business speaking career! Very circular.

Preach it sis,

I long for the day when that will be common knowledge. There's many Hill Harpers and even Obamas out there...sadly, it's Mookie on the corner who gets the most attention.

Not even, lol

Hill Harper is an actor, (a helluva good one), who starred in CSI as well as several other movies and tv shows.

He also has a law degree and I think he was a classmate and friend of Obama at Harvard.

I've heard him speak several times and unlike Tavis Smiley his community initiatives are hands-on as opposed to talking at issues from a safe distance.

He's a good dude to check out. Pretty much down to earth and authentic from what I know of him.

Wow, congrats on hearing him speak live and in person! I've always had much respect for Hill Harper, he is extremely intelligent. I was thinking of reading some of his books, they seem to have me curious. I'll check it out on my field trip to Barnes and Nobles this weekend. thumbs up!
I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince.

Hill Harper was recently on a panel of "Why Can't Black Women Get A Black Man?" I wish I could have watched the whole thing. It was very interesting, and as usual Hill was spot on with a lot of things. Man is brilliant.
