"Coming out of Chicago, it was rough," said Temple.
"Whether police brutality or systematic oppression a lot of that can be changed through ownership," said Temple."Because now we are an asset to the community and if we don't like the way we are being treated we can leverage those assets."

He met Johnny Porter online at just 18 years old."Certain people sometimes, unfortunately, they don't want to give information. It's not just because they don't want to see you succeed but they are thinking only for self. That wasn't Anthony.
"They say how did you do this? They say you own this? They can't believe it, so when they ask the questions that's the thing I feel, man this approach is working."
