Don Cornelius never led a civil rights march, launched a boycott or gave a speech before a cheering crowd of protesters.
But his impact on America was as profound as virtually any civil rights leader,
It seems so unreal….I actually (very briefly, about 30 sec.) met him and got a chance to shake his hand. He was truly an icon and will be greatly missed.
