I think his writings should be mandatory reading in NYC public schools; it is very important for people to really understand what is being done to this city. It frustrates me to no end how many people seem to not really care. Condolences to his family and friends. This is very very sad.<br /><br />JAZnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-6357850143727784422012-10-02T00:46:41.065-04:002012-10-02T00:46:41.065-04:00This really hurts.

Mr. Smith's work and outspoken life have opened countless eyes to what's occurring, and will continue to do so through the memories so many have of him. Rest In Peace.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
