Everybody has a hero, and for some of us, a man by the name of Sultan Ahmad was it.
Sultan Ahmad was always a man of his word for the 40 plus years I’ve known him. I first met him, like I met many movers and shakers when I was fresh out of college, brand new to a career in radio broadcasting, and all about learning whatever I could from people older than me, who I knew, were good people. I completed my college studies and came back home to Philadelphia just before W. Wilson Goode became the city’s first African American Mayor. Sultan Ahmad was one of Wilson Goode’s soldiers out in the streets, helping make sure Goode had a win at the end of election night in 1980. And he did win.
