Guess which world leader has not yet been able to make any acknowledgment on his contribution to the US?:cautious:
 
Former US presidential hopeful Herman Cain and co chair of black voices for Trump has died from coronavirus. He was hospitalised two weeks after attending Tulsa rally.

He probably knew the risks and would not have been able to wear a mask. Bad luck mate. I remember him.

He did a talk at a charity function I was at many years ago. He was having heart troubles then. Had a heart attack quite young.

I remember a story he told, when he played cricket as a kid, if he went out cheaply his Dad would just leave so he had to walk home. Sometimes he would have to walk for 4 hours to get home.
