Thanks BET.com for keeping us in the know. I will truly miss Morgan for he was brilliiant during the Ali trial. God Bless his family and friends for he’ll be miss. Morgan was a history making man and just because he’s white should not make a difference because Morgan was a Giant in the legal community but most of all he was a man who fulfill a cause. I will miss you Morgan.
