Oprah's (oneday)MALE Legend's Ball!
Oprah's Legend's Ball (BIG PICTURE)
This is a picture of Oprah's Legend's Ball. If she had a MALE Legends Ball who do you think she would/should invite. My list would be:
Denzel Washington
Sidney Poitier
Quincy Jones
Michael Jordan
Magic Johnson
Dr. J
Bill Russell
Kofi Annam
Colin Powell (the jury is still out on whether his ass can come)
Danny Glover
Barrack Obama
Kwame Nfume
It just seems like a year where we've lost so many footsoldiers like Ossie Davis and others who were active during civil rights that a picture needs to be taken to the event.

in addition to the ones already mentioned
Stevie Wonder
Bill Cosby
E. Lynn Harris
Nathan McCall
Will Smith
John Singleton
Spike Lee
A lot of ones on my mind have made their Earthly transition. 
I need to think some more.

I was never a Boy Scout, but my earlier statement stands. Classy move.

Other ideas:
Dr. Mark Dean (little known AfAm scientist who had a huge seminal role in the technology revolution).
Stanley O'Neal (Merrill Lynch)
Richard Parsons (Time Warner)
Kenneth Chenault (AmEx)
Hugh Price (National Urban League)
Shaquille O'Neal
Grant Hill
Henry Louis Gates
Cornel West
William Raspberry
Clarence Page
