He "seeks solutions and resolutions rather than sitting back and watching the horrors and injustices that plague our world." He is a "pillar of dignity, distinction, value and powerfully intended integrity." He "strives for rightness in all of his relations," and acts as both teacher and healer when it comes to the difficult issue of race. He is, in fact, much like those who have not walked in the counsel of the wicked nor lingered in the way of sinners, a "mighty oak," "planted by streams of water with leaves that do not wither."

He sounds amazing! Just who is this champion of the people?

He's actor Wesley Snipes, at least according to character references provided by Denzel Washington and Woody Harrelson to the federal judge about to sentence Snipes for his tax shenanigans. He is also Harrelson's role model when it comes to family life. Huh. And all this time we just thought of him as the dude from Blade who tried to stiff the feds. Guess you never really know a person until you hear from their friends about him.
