Tied to Greatness: Everything Old Becomes New Again

My granddad believed you have to respect yourself first before you can make anyone else respect you. He and countless other black men on the heels of a major race maelstrom in this country needed something that made them feel special and respectable. And to many of them it was the necktie.

Who said that everything old becomes new again? I don’t know, but I do know that if minister and author Alex O. Ellis has his way, the symbol of old – a necktie – will become new again. It will become new again one man, one boy and one tie at a time.
