leshing out the charac-
ter, and he also wanted
to know my perspective
as an African Ameri-
can and whether I felt
it relected the African
American experience.
And it was mind-blowing
and empowering how
Gary wanted to portray
African Americans par-
ticipating in their own
liberation. So, I would
work with him again at
the drop of a hat.
KW: What message
do you think people will
take away from the ilm?
MA: That the struggle
for freedom continues.
And if you’re a person
like Newt, it becomes

empower those in close
proximity to you.
KW: Harriet Paku-
la-Teweles asks: With so
many classic ilms being
redone, is there a remake

KW: Ling-Ju Yen asks:
What is your earliest
childhood memory?

a large sink by my dad.
He slapped me on the
back until I coughed it
up.
KW: Who loved you
unconditionally during
your formative years?
MA: My parents and
my grandparents. My
mom was extraordinari-
ly present, but I’m so ap-
preciate of all of them.
KW: Was there a mean-
ingful spiritual compo-
nent to your childhood?
MA: I grew up in
church. My mom’s a

ence of a greater being I
call God.
KW: How were you af-
fected by the passing of
Muhammad Ali?
MA: I was very afect-
ed by it. He was my irst
hero. I was mesmerized
by his photos and his
presence, even though
he was retiring around
the time I was becoming
conscious of him. He was
100 percent my irst hero
and idol.
KW: Sherry Gillam

Voluntary Pre-Bid Meeting
Date: June 28, 2016 10:00AM
Description: Voluntary Pre-Bid Meeting
It is our primary goal as a labor union to better the lives of all people working in
the building trades through advocacy, civil demonstration, and the long-held belief
that workers deserve a “family wage” - fair pay for an honest day’s work.
A family wage, and the beneits that go with it, not only strengthens families, but also
allows our communities to become stronger, more cohesive, and more responsive
to their citizens’ needs.
Our family wage agenda relects our commitment to people working in the building trades, and
to workers everywhere. In this small way, we are doing our part to help people achieve the American Dream.
This dream that workers can hold dear regardless of race, color, national origin, gender, creed, or religious beliefs.
