Note<br />
It was very important for us to<br />
have <strong>Michael</strong> <strong>Vick</strong> as our first<br />
sports cover feature because he<br />
exemplifies what it means to be a<br />
Quintessential Gentleman. From<br />
his philanthropic works, business<br />
endeavors, and his many contributions<br />
to the National Football<br />
League, <strong>Michael</strong> <strong>Vick</strong> will forever<br />
be an iconic figure.<br />
The Quintessential Gentleman<br />
Magazine has an obligation to<br />
create a narrative that changes<br />
the outlook that systemic policies<br />
and practices have placed on our<br />
black brothers. <strong>Michael</strong> <strong>Vick</strong> and<br />
countless others aren’t afforded<br />
the luxuries of second chances and<br />
will forever carry unwarranted titles.<br />
Being a black man in America<br />
is like living in the twilight zone<br />
and for this, we need to uplift our<br />
heroes and be an example to the<br />
younger generation. We are proud<br />
to share these type of stories.<br />
