edit data

African American award-winning author David L. Wadley received the Literary Titan Gold Book Award for his work "The AI Revolution Will Not Be Televised" on April 4, 2025. This date is significant as it marks the 57th anniversary of the assassination of Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

In his book, Wadley argues that Dr. King was silenced not only for his advocacy of civil rights but also because he was planning the highly anticipated Poor People's March on Washington to promote economic equality, which was scheduled to take place just several weeks after his assassination. Wadley strongly asserts that the best way to honor Dr. King's legacy is for individuals to empower themselves by adopting a do-it-yourself online trading strategy and i African American award-winning author David L. Wadley received the Literary Titan Gold Book Award for his work "The AI Revolution Will Not Be Televised" on April 4, 2025. This date is significant as it marks the 57th anniversary of the assassination of Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

In his book, Wadley argues that Dr. King was silenced not only for his advocacy of civil rights but also because he was planning the highly anticipated Poor People's March on Washington to promote economic equality, which was scheduled to take place just several weeks after his assassination. Wadley strongly asserts that the best way to honor Dr. King's legacy is for individuals to empower themselves by adopting a do-it-yourself online trading strategy and investing in AI stocks to achieve significant financial gains during the world's fourth industrial revolution.

Wadley is also the writer, producer, and director of Dark Angels (1998), the first feature released in what later became known as the Hard Faith movie genre. He challenged traditional Hollywood storytelling by creating the first faith-based gangster film. Dark Angels (1998) features a climactic battle between the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and a drug dealer, played by AJ Johnson, known for his role as Ezal in Friday (1995).

Born on a U.S. military base in Central Europe during the civil rights movement, Wadley later graduated from St. Peter Chanel High School in Cleveland, Ohio. He made the Dean's List as a freshman at Morehouse College in Atlanta, Georgia. Ernest Tidyman, a Cleveland journalist and Oscar-winning screenwriter of The French Connection (1971) and Shaft (1971), encouraged him to study film production in New York, New York. Wadley worked at The New York Hilton, The Plaza Hotel, and The Waldorf Astoria to support himself, where he interacted with notable hotel guests such as Ella Fitzgerald, James Brown, and Jesse Jackson.

While attending Hunter College, he lived in Harlem, first on 135th Street and St. Nicholas Avenue, and later relocated to 147th Street and St. Nicholas Avenue. Wadley interned in Harlem's 15th Congressional District under Representative Charles Rangel. Historically, he was the first student invited to participate as a guest panelist on the regionally televised City of N.Y. Internship Forum, where he discussed Race Relations in America with local politicians and noted political scientist Dr. Marilyn Gittell. Intrigued by his studies on the Civil Rights Movement, he arranged private discussions with Coretta Scott King and Betty Shabazz, the widows of Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X.

After serving for several years as a firefighter in Atlanta, Georgia, Wadley's aspiration to work in the film industry led him to Los Angeles, California, where he secured positions at Panavision and Technicolor. He also worked as a production assistant on films produced by prominent filmmakers such as Steven Spielberg, Spike Lee, Robert De Niro, and Melvin Van Peebles. His film credits include Panther (1995), Tales from the Hood (1995), To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar (1995), and Minority Report (2002).

Wadley has worked for major studios such as Warner Bros., Sony Pictures, and MGM Studios. He is a member of the Motion Picture Editors Guild, IATSE Local 700, and served as the Supervising Sound Editor on Soul Plane (2004).

Later, Wadley spent several years in Las Vegas, Nevada, working at Caesars Palace and MGM Grand. In November 2006, he joined the Surveillance Division of the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino.

In 2008, he secured a position with the U.S. federal government during the transition of Executive Branch control from President George W. Bush to President Barack Obama. Alongside his public service duties, he founded an organization called All Women Are Beautiful (AWAB) to provide public service information related to cultural diversity and in ...more

David Wadley shared a quote “She remembered what her aunts had told her about a woman’s vaginal walls becoming thinner and drier in later years, which could lead to discomfort and even pain when penetration occurred. At that later stage in her life, she decided that having a meticulous, seasoned deep-sea pearl diver, a lover who understood various ways to please her, would be far more advantageous than being with some insensitive Neanderthal slamming his clumsy, Moby Dick harpoon into her tender, late vintage sugar walls.” David L.

David Wadley shared a quote “She was dark-complexioned, with full lips and high cheekbones set gracefully on a smooth face—reminiscent of the beautiful women he admired while driving through small rural towns in South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi. Onyx had a curvaceous and full-bodied figure, exuding confidence. She was homegirl thick and cornbread-fed—just the kind of woman he was typically attracted to.” David L. Wadley

Quotes by David L. Wadley (?)

“David felt that CNBC was the most critically essential yet significantly undervalued news network available to American citizens. He turned the television in his home office to this station 24/7. Unlike many other news outlets that tend to lean either too far to the right or the left, CNBC focused solely on information that impacts financial life.”

“He concluded that do-it-yourself online stock trading was the best way to increase personal wealth, believing that allowing employers to manage one’s money through 401(k) plans and other middleman investment strategies was for suckers and fools. He believed nobody would ever care about your kids, your significant other, or your money more than you do. That is just common sense—real-life 101.”

“David saw the AI Revolution and online stock trading as potential solutions to the economic challenges faced by Black women and Black men. He genuinely believed that the reparations sought by Black people for the injustices of slavery and other crimes against their humanity are waiting patiently to be claimed in one place: Wall Street.”

“Everyone remembers the first time they saw a dead body. As a child, David recalled his first encounter: his grandfather lying still, lifeless, and unproductive in his coffin. He carried this image with him for the rest of his life, always aware that time is finite and that one must use it wisely.”
