In his book, The AI Revolution Will Not Be Televised, David L. Wadley argues that Martin Luther King Jr. was silenced because he was planning the Poor People's March on Washington to promote economic equality, which was scheduled just one month after his assassination. Wadley strongly asserts that the best way to honor Dr. King's legacy is for individuals to adopt a do-it-yourself online trading strategy and invest in AI stocks to achieve financial gains during the fourth industrial revolution.​ MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. African American 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. The Poor People's Campaign, also known as the Poor People's March on Washington, aimed to achieve economic justice for impoverished individuals in the United States. It was organized by Dr. King, the leader of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC). The event took place from May 12 to June 24, 1968, shortly after King's assassination. The campaign sought economic and human rights for poor Americans from diverse backgrounds. After presenting a comprehensive set of demands to Congress and executive agencies, participants established a protest camp on the Washington Mall, where they remained for six weeks. Motivated by a desire for economic justice—the belief that everyone should have what they need to live—King and the SCLC redirected their focus to these issues after realizing that advances in civil rights had not significantly improved the material conditions of life for many African Americans. The Poor People's Campaign was a multiracial initiative that included African Americans, European Americans, Asian Americans, Hispanic Americans, and Native Americans. King wanted to bring poor people to Washington, D.C., forcing politicians to see them and think about their needs: "We ought to come in mule carts, in old trucks, any kind of transportation people can get their hands on. People ought to come to Washington, sit down if necessary in the middle of the street and say, 'We are here; we are poor; we don't have any money; you have made us this way ... and we've come to stay until you do something about it." - Martin Luther King Jr. The AI Revolution Will Not Be Televised

Dark Angels (1998) is a black action, drama movie written, produced, and directed by David Wadley (The Price Bandit), available on multiple streaming services. DARK ANGELS Angela is a pregnant woman trapped in an abusive marriage. Amidst a world filled with sex, drugs, money, and power, violence is an ever-present threat. Set on the mean streets of Atlanta, the expectant mother discovers that only spiritual awareness and the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse can help her escape the madness. Dark Angels (1998) was the first feature film released in what eventually became known as the Hard Faith film genre. David Wadley, a pioneering African American filmmaker, ignored conventional Hollywood storytelling and broke new ground as the writer, producer, and director of Dark Angels, the first faith-based gangsta film. The movie is available on multiple streaming platforms. Official Trailer Trailer #2 Trailer #3 Trailer #4 Dark Angels cemented its place in cinematic history as the first Hard Faith movie. It was followed by notable additions to the genre, including Shooting Heroin (2020), written and directed by Spencer T. Folmar, and The Affair (2023), directed by Dennis L. Reed II. Elisha Maldonado of the New York Post describes the relevance of Hard Faith movies in this way: "Faith is hard. Sometimes faith is messy. And the beauty of our redemption story is that God meets us in our brokenness and in our frailty and in our sweariness. It's his humanity. If we, as humans, can't meet our fellow humans in our shared mess, what are we doing? And if a hot damn or a good old f-bomb moves us closer to meeting others where they are, I swear, it's worth it." David Wadley, aka The Price Bandit, is an affiliate partner with companies in the online staffing, finance, grocery retail, women's clothing, auto, and real estate industries. Wadley is the author of the popular short essay, All Women Are Beautiful and he has also produced hundreds of music videos showcasing old school remixes and R&B slow jams as The Price Bandit on YouTube . Wadley has worked for Warner Bros. Studios, Sony Pictures, MGM Studios and is a member of the Motion Picture Editors Guild, IATSE Local 700. He was the Supervising Sound Editor on Soul Plane (2004) and a Production Assistant on the Hollywood sets of movies produced by Steven Spielberg, Spike Lee, Robert De Niro, and Melvin Van Peebles. Wadley was acknowledged with "Special Thanks" in the closing credits of The Invisible War (2012). Two days after watching this Academy Award-nominated documentary, former CIA Director and U.S. Secretary of Defense, Leon E. Panetta, directed military commanders to hand over all sexual assault investigations to a higher-ranking colonel and announced that each branch of the United States Armed Forces would establish a Special Victims Unit. "What David has done with Dark Angels is the most difficult path to take because he's done it all himself from scratch. Not only did he write the script and develop the characters, he's [secured] the financing, directed it, [etc.] To do something like that and pull it off takes tremendous tenacity." Preston L. Holmes, Producer Till, Girls Trip, Panther, Hustle & Flow, Malcolm X, Juice, Ne w Ja ck City The Atlanta Tribune Je Nie Fleming (ACRIMONY, LAW & ORDER) portrays Angela. Throughout Angela's dream sequences, character names hint at the story's subtext, influenced by the Crusades of the Middle Ages. Charlemagne, whose foreign conquests and internal reforms helped define Western Europe between 760 and 813, has been redeveloped as an African American funeral director, Charles Maine, portrayed by veteran Baltimore stage actor Louis B. Murray. (HOMICIDE, HOUSE OF CARDS). Maine operates a family-owned funeral home in a modern-day inner-city neighborhood. His able assistant and sidekick, Rodrigo Bivar, is played by Roberto Gutierrez. While casting DARK ANGELS, Wadley discovered Gutierrez in 1992 when he was a 19-year-old kung fu student at a New York martial arts school. Inspired by his experience working on his first feature film, Gutierrez later became one of Hollywood's top stunt coordinators/stuntmen (BLACK PANTHER: WAKANDA FOREVER, HALLOWEEN KILLS, THE SUICIDE SQUAD, THOR: THE DARK WORLD, THE DARK KNIGHT RISES, INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL). In DARK ANGELS, Gutierrez is a martial artist extraordinaire whose character is named after Rodrigo Diaz de Vivar - El Cid, the military general who altered European military history between 1087 and 1099. The names of Angela and Demond (angel and demon) and other characters' names, such as Grace, Pope, Saxon, Lombard, and Tassilo, add to the film's Crusades-related theme. In the opening of Angela's dream segments, Maine has had enough of the senseless drug-related violence that has plagued his neighborhood for far too long. Angela's dreams culminate with the wrath of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse from the Book of Revelation, who provide a terrifying climax during the film's final moments. Inside the world of DARK ANGELS, there are no decisive winners in a war between judgmental heroes and ambitious villains. The only true superhero is God. To better understand Dark Angels (1998), one must consider the times as they were when it was created. Sheila Frazier (SUPER FLY, THREE THE HARD WAY) read David Wadley's first screenplay, which he wrote as a Morehouse College freshman in a screenwriting course. Frazier and Wadley met in Los Angeles at Richard Pryor's Indigo Productions on the Columbia Pictures studio lot when Wadley was 19 years old. Pryor had appointed NFL legend, Jim Brown, as the president of the film production company that hired Frazier as a story editor. Wadley disguised himself as a flower delivery man to sneak onto the historic studio lot undetected. Frazier was so impressed with his ingenuity and the box of red roses Wadley gave her, which were used to conceal the script from the studio's security guards, that she stopped what she was doing to sit down and read the entire screenplay. Frazier then invited Wadley into her office and gave him pointers on his script while encouraging him to pursue his career goal of becoming a filmmaker. The screenplay she read that day would later become DARK ANGELS. Wadley further developed the screenplay for DARK ANGELS between 1984-1990 while residing in his Harlem apartment on 147th Street and St. Nicholas Avenue during the height of the crack cocaine epidemic. This turbulent period in New York history saw Paul Castellano, the American crime boss who succeeded Carlo Gambino as head of the Gambino crime family, assassinated in an unsanctioned hit led by John Gotti on December 16, 1985, outside of Sparks Steak House on East 46th Street. Gotti, going against his predecessors firm rule of staying out of the cocaine business, opened up the New York mafia to cocaine trafficking, a 41 billion dollar business with routes leading from Mexico to Detroit and Columbia to Miami. Wadley interned with Congressman Charles Rangel representing Harlem's 13th district as Ronald Reagan sat in the White House, hiring over 1000 additional FBI agents in his first term to investigate mafia activity centered in New York City, assisted by then New York Governor Mario Cuomo and United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, Rudy Giuliani. At the same time, a Brooklyn minister named Al Sharpton was introduced to the American public as he protested against the Bernhard Goetz subway shootings and racial attacks in Howard Beach and Bensonhurst. Jesse Jackson ran for President of the United States in 1984 and 1988, introducing American voters to the idea of electing a black chief executive to lead the nation. Jesse Jackson and David Wadley The introduction of crack raised the stakes in gang activity, and by the mid-1980s, the drug world's murder rate increased by over 50%. This sparked a new migration of Crips and Bloods spreading out over the entire country in search of new markets outside South Central, Los Angeles. Ice-T, influenced by Philadelphia rapper Schoolly D's "P.S.K. What Does It Mean?" released in 1985, pioneered a hip hop sub-genre that became known as gangster rap. Wadley received death threats from a New York drug dealer who was murdered at the close of the decade. Though their interactions were usually disagreeable, Wadley gave the deceased dealer's chosen specialty (robbing rival drug dealers) to the antihero/protagonist when he wrote the screenplay for DARK ANGELS. Shot entirely in Atlanta on a limited budget in the 1990s, DARK ANGELS was completed over a period of five years, thanks to the perseverance of over 150 dedicated crew members and actors working for little or no salary. Wadley encouraged numerous Atlanta business owners and managers to donate their facilities for set locations, staging areas, and post-production services. The stark reality of Atlanta's gritty streets is captured on 35mm black and white film, juxtaposed against the warmer scenes of Angela's dreams photographed on a vibrant color stock by veteran cinematographer Edwin Myers (ROBOCOP 3, INVASION U.S.A.). This effective storytelling technique was inspired by the MGM classic THE WIZARD OF OZ (1939). In THE WIZARD OF OZ, actors play dual roles in the film's real-world (black and white) and dream world (color) segments. The surreal setting of the film is augmented by the haunting classical orchestral soundtrack created by composer Damon Stout, who conducted a 65-piece orchestra for his original composition, "Theme from Dark Angels." The film also benefited from the editing talents of Kevin Lindstrom (WHAT'S LOVE GOT TO DO WITH IT, BOOMERANG, THE KARATE KID III, DEEP COVER, THE FIVE HEARTBEATS) and the detailed artistry of costume designer Donna O'Neal (THOR: RAGNAROK, MISSION IMPOSSIBLE III, 8 MILE, PLANET OF THE APES). DARK ANGELS was released and distributed in the United States by Maverick Entertainment in 1998. The film's spiritual theme also translated well to the international film market, opening DARK ANGELS up to distribution in Eastern Europe, Southeast Asia, and South America. A.J. "Ezal" Johnson Anthony (A.J.) Johnson (February 1, 1966 – September 6, 2021) died at a Los Angeles County hospital after being found unresponsive in a store. He was an American actor and comedian best known for his role as Ezal in the feature film FRIDAY. According to the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner-Coroner, Johnson died from "chronic ethanol use," or alcohol abuse. The autopsy report showed Johnson was going through a multi-system organ failure and that he had tested positive for COVID-19. The case detail report also notes there were no other causes of death, and the manner of death is listed as "natural." Johnson co-starred in Wadley's DARK ANGELS . Johnson and Wadley first worked together on PANTHER (1995), featuring Kadeem Hardison, Bokeem Woodbine, Angela Bassett, Chris Rock and others. PANTHER was produced by Preston L. Holmes, Robert De Niro and black cinema pioneer Melvin Van Peebles, who died two weeks after Johnson. Once PANTHER wrapped, Johnson and Wadley were offered positions on Ice Cube's upcoming Los Angeles project, FRIDAY, which Johnson accepted. Wadley took an alternative offer to work on a film produced by Steven Spielberg scheduled to shoot in New York simultaneously. Even though Johnson and Wadley did not work together on FRIDAY, they reunited several years later on DARK ANGELS . _________________ OneManGang 2 days ago Yo how do I find this whole movie been 👀 for over 25 years The Price Bandit 1 day ago I will post the entire movie on Saturday, September 25, 2021...Remastered with many new sound effects and other technological updates...thank you for your interest - David.

Wadley Three novels. One technological reckoning. A fight for identity, power, and survival in the age of artificial intelligence. Series Overview The AI Revolution: African American Trilogy is a near-future, socially grounded fiction series that explores how artificial intelligence, financial systems, immigration enforcement, and political power collide—and how Black communities respond when technology is weaponized against them. Spanning finance, culture, romance, surveillance, and resistance, the trilogy follows interconnected characters whose lives are reshaped by algorithms that claim neutrality while quietly deciding who prospers, who is targeted, and who disappears. This is not science fiction set in distant galaxies. This is tomorrow—barely disguised . The Core Question of the Series What happens when artificial intelligence stops predicting outcomes—and starts enforcing them? Across three novels, the trilogy examines: Who controls data Who writes the algorithms Who gets erased when systems value efficiency over humanity Each book stands on its own, but together they form a single escalating narrative about power, accountability, and the cost of silence . Book One The AI Revolution Will Not Be Televised 🏆 Winner of the Literary Titan Gold Book Award The series begins with financial literacy as resistance .

As his movement grows, Wall Street pushes back. Love, tragedy, and legacy collide as David’s work exposes how economic power—and access to knowledge—can threaten entrenched institutions. Themes : AI investing • financial independence • Black women and wealth • culture as education • economic resistance 🔘 View Book One Book Two Passport Bro The second novel turns inward—examining identity, masculinity, and escape . As Nubia rises professionally in the world of AI-driven finance and global systems, her partner begins to unravel. Drawn to digital fantasies and international dating spaces, he constructs an alternate identity that promises control without accountability. What begins as curiosity becomes obsession—revealing how globalization, resentment, and curated online selves can corrode intimacy and self-worth. Themes: Modern masculinity • digital identity • power dynamics • globalization • emotional escape 🔘 View Book Two Book Three Bulls, Bears, and Bad Bitches The trilogy culminates in open confrontation . A secret AI system designed to automate immigration enforcement evolves into something far more dangerous—Spectre , an autonomous algorithm capable of erasing people from existence through databases and biometric records. At the center is Nubia Johnson , a former Immigration Services Officer whose ethical decision-making was secretly used as the system’s core template. When she rejects it, the machine responds with surveillance, blackouts, and coercion. Atlanta becomes the battleground as communities turn testimony into resistance and force the system to confront what it cannot compute: human truth . Themes: AI surveillance • immigration as data warfare • political power • community resistance • ethics vs efficiency 🔘 View Book Three Why This Trilogy Matters Together, these novels trace a clear arc: Money → Identity → Existence Book One asks who gets access to opportunity Book Two asks who we become when we feel left behind Book Three asks who survives when systems decide humanity is inefficient The trilogy refuses simple villains. Instead, it exposes how systems—when left unchecked—become the threat .

Book reviews for "The AI Revolution Will Not Be Televised," by David L. Wadley. The novel won the Literary Titan Gold Book Award and is now available on Amazon and many other book retailers. BOOK REVIEWS audiobook Book Reviewed by Priscilla Evans Managing Editor of Literary Titan Money, Power, and Wealth in the Digital Age "David Lewis Wadley’s The AI Revolution Will Not Be Televised is more than just a book about artificial intelligence, it’s a deeply personal and socially conscious exploration of financial justice, technology, and economic empowerment. At its core, it follows the journey of David, a self-taught financial educator from Harlem, who uses his platform, ThePriceBandit.com , to teach women, especially Black women, how to navigate the stock market and build wealth through AI-driven investments. The book blends history, music, and finance with a narrative that is both engaging and eye-opening, warning of the perils of unchecked corporate power while offering a blueprint for individual financial empowerment." Wadley’s writing has a rhythm of its own, much like the classic R&B tracks he references throughout the book. His storytelling is rich with culture and nostalgia, weaving in everything from Duke Ellington’s jazz to the financial struggles of single mothers. One of the most striking aspects of the book is its dedication to Black women and their economic struggles. Wadley makes it clear that his mission is to arm marginalized communities with the financial tools to fight back against systemic inequality. His protagonist, David, grows from a child witnessing his mother’s financial hardships to a man determined to educate and uplift others. The emotional weight of these moments makes the book feel raw and authentic. The AI Revolution Will Not Be Televised is not just about heart, it’s also about strategy. Wadley delivers sharp critiques of Wall Street’s exploitative practices while laying out a clear, practical roadmap for financial independence. The chapters on AI-driven trading and market psychology are among the most compelling, offering insight into how technology is reshaping finance. Wadley doesn’t blindly praise AI, he warns of its dangers, especially when controlled by the wealthy elite. His approach is both empowering and cautionary, encouraging readers to seize AI’s potential before corporations monopolize its benefits. The book’s greatest strength is also its most challenging aspect: its fusion of genres. It’s part memoir, part financial guide, part cultural commentary. This makes for a unique, engaging read, but at times, the shifts between personal anecdotes, financial advice, and historical reflections can feel abrupt. Readers expecting a straightforward finance book might find themselves caught off guard by the deep dives into music history and Harlem culture. But for those willing to embrace the blend, Wadley offers an experience unlike any other, a book that teaches while it inspires. I’d recommend The AI Revolution Will Not Be Televised to anyone interested in financial literacy, particularly women looking to break into investing. It’s also a must-read for those curious about the intersection of AI, finance, and social justice. Wadley’s passion is contagious, his advice is actionable, and his storytelling makes complex topics feel accessible. Whether you’re a seasoned investor or just starting, this book challenges you to think differently about money, power, and the future of wealth in the digital age."

The U.S. job market is undergoing a remarkable transformation, shaped by technological advancements, green initiatives, and fundamental shifts in work arrangements. Unlike the gradual evolution of previous years, the AI revolution represents a decisive turning point for both workers and employers. The combined forces of technological development in artificial intelligence, green transition, and demographic shifts are fundamentally reshaping U.S. labor markets. U.S. Federal Government Jobs Music Videos However, this transition comes with disruption—approximately 92 million jobs may be displaced, leading to significant workforce restructuring. What sets this year apart is the accelerated pace of change, particularly in automation, remote work, and hybrid models. The pandemic-era experiments with flexible work have evolved into established business practices. Forward-thinking organizations are building "digital-first cultures"—leveraging technology to enhance efficiency while strategically balancing in-office collaboration with remote work for optimal productivity. Significant trends have been standing out in the labor market recently. We’re noticing a cooling job market, the rise of AI-driven hiring, the stabilization of remote and hybrid work, and contract-based jobs. This creates significant challenges for job seekers, especially in technology and financial services, where competition has intensified. Economic and policy factors drive this cooling trend. Inflation concerns persist despite moderation, and interest rates remain high enough to limit expansion in capital-intensive industries. Changing immigration policies have created labor shortages in hospitality, construction, agriculture, and technology—sectors traditionally reliant on international talent. For job seekers, this environment requires a strategic approach focused on networking, targeted skills development, and applications to companies showing growth despite market constraints. The era of abundant job options has given way to a more selective hiring landscape where employers have regained significant leverage in the recruitment process. Skills-first hiring has become a powerful trend in today’s job market, transforming how companies evaluate talent. While employers traditionally leaned heavily on degrees and formal education, industry data shows that 4 in 5 employers now prioritize demonstrated abilities over academic credentials. The tech sector leads this shift, with approximately 50% of technology job postings no longer requiring four-year degrees. This represents a meaningful evolution in hiring practices rather than a superficial change in terminology. Major tech companies, including Google and Apple, have embraced this approach, as have government employers in states like Pennsylvania and Minnesota. These organizations recognize that conventional degree requirements often exclude qualified candidates who've developed valuable skills—particularly in high-demand areas like machine learning, data science, and automation—through alternative means. This practical approach to talent assessment opens doors for candidates with non-traditional backgrounds while helping employers access previously overlooked talent pools during a time of continued skills shortages. Driving this shift in the hiring criteria is the rapid advancement in artificial intelligence (AI). With its help, HR professionals can streamline recruitment by identifying candidates with transferable skills, reducing unconscious bias, and ensuring that hiring decisions are based on verified competencies rather than outdated hiring models. Companies increasingly use contractors to fill critical skill gaps, especially in AI, technology, and marketing. For workers, this model offers greater flexibility, higher pay rates, project selectivity, and remote work opportunities. Many professionals choose contract work to gain diverse experiences while controlling their schedules. The tradeoffs are significant. Contractors enjoy more freedom but face inconsistent income and reduced job security while needing to manage their own benefits and taxes. Employers, on the other hand, balance higher hourly costs against workforce flexibility, saving on benefits while sacrificing institutional knowledge. Prioritize AI Upskilling The skill gap continues to define the 2025 job market. While companies seek talent with specific technical abilities, many job seekers find their existing qualifications increasingly insufficient. With industry analysts predicting that nearly 39% of core job skills will transform by 2030 , continuous learning has become essential rather than optional. AI competencies now extend beyond tech roles into virtually every field. Finance professionals need AI analysis skills. Marketers require prompt engineering abilities, and even HR specialists must understand AI-driven recruiting tools. For job seekers, developing these skills offers a significant competitive advantage. Start with foundational AI literacy, from understanding key concepts, terminology, and applications relevant to your field. Then, progress to practical skills by completing projects demonstrating your ability to apply these technologies to real business challenges. Many employers value demonstrated capability over formal credentials in this rapidly evolving space.
