I was there. I almost decided not to go because I had a lot to do but went anyway. I almost did not get my books signed but did anyway. Needless to say, I am glad that I went. I highly recommend one going to see him. We at PV were truly blessed. BTW it was standing room only.
 
EB, I didn't think THAT many people would be there.....BOY was I wrong. A 1,000 seat auditorium...PACKED!!!! With SEVERAL more people sitting outside in the 1st and 2nd floor hallways watching on monitors.
 
my brothers saw him Saturday night in California at their Black History Program..big turnout also....he asked him for a copy of his book, he said West gave him $25 on the spot and told him to keep it when he found out they ran out of copies.
 
He was at TSU that same day. Unfortunately, I missed him both times. This makes three times total that I've missed him :( .
