December 20 marked the 20th anniversary of when Brooklyn warrior Sonny Abubadika Carson joined the ancestral realm, and several of his close comrades reflected on his legacy.
For many decades he was on the frontlines, fearlessly fighting against systematic oppression on behalf of his community. The education Sonny Carson provided remodeled several neighborhoods in the People’s Republic of Brooklyn. He advocated Black self-determination and self-reliance.
“He was responsible for getting so many of our young people construction jobs, and also made sure there was a Black principal, teachers and curriculum in the schools,” recalled elected activist Charles Barron. “When he thought they were messing with my wife, Inez, who was a principal at a school in Bed-Stuy, he called her up and asked, ‘What do I need to do?’ and just the thought of that, they backed off. He said ‘If anybody messes with you, we’ll be there for you.
