Ernie Hudson Quotes
When we come together and appreciate each other, that's always a positive thing; a step in the right direction. That is what the NAACP Image Awards do. If we can just come together and love each other, that's important.

But the real reality is we haven't loved and appreciated our own accomplishments.
