RIP Ossie

Actor Ossie Davis Found Dead in Hotel.

Ossie was a tireless advocate for social justice his whole life speaking out against racism and the criminal justice system.

He was gracious enough to speak on anti-death penalty panels my wife organized in New York City on several occasions. In 1965, he delivered a Eulogie for Malcolm X.

He will be missed.

Thanks, Ossie.

I'll always remember:

"Mookie... always do the right thing."

"That's it?"

"That's it."

Ossie was on this excellent radio programme I just heard on the BBC. You should be able to listen to it via the Radio 4 website/Radio Player. Highly recommended.
