My 2 Sons

The thoughts and convictions of John and Sean Cater in their own words

I hope to inspire young Black males watching me, giving them the opportunity to see someone who looks like their brother, friend, cousin or even their next door neighbor. And when faced with the challenges of daily living, listen, pick and choose their fights, turn adversity into advantage and stay focused.

–John L. Cater Jr. – 10/12/2004

I, Sean A. Cater, vow that I will always give back my services to the best of my ability in order to help support and strengthen the youth of today’s society, especially the Black youth. Most importantly, I will teach my kids to give back to society so that they will feel the inner joy it brings to help a distressed individual.

–Sean A. Cater – 03/20/1989
