Time for New Leadership?

By Abdul Hakim-Shabazz

If you don’t think it’s time for new leadership to step up to the plate in Indianapolis’ Black community listen to these two interviews.  One is with State Rep. Bill Crawford and the other is with Rev. Charles Ellis of the 10-point Coalition.

I spoke to both gentlemen Tuesday about Black Expo and the new task force being formed to address some of the issues stemming from Saturday night’s shooting that sent nine people to the hospital.   The Crawford interview is about five minutes long, the Ellis interview just a couple minutes long.

See what I mean when I say there is time for new leadership.  By the way, my very reliable sources tell me the members of the Baptist Ministers Alliance were furious that they weren’t allowed to stand at the podium and speak during today’s news conference.   Hey, if I was all about cameras and not getting results, I’d be pretty upset too.
