Those who truly had valiant acts of service and courageous hearts. Those who demonstrated compassion on others and had a vision that exceeded their own prosperity. Those who were generational in their vision, thinking beyond their personal here and now.
Strength of thought, word and deed founded in love for one another.

| Of course clearing the land with smallpox and guns, getting over the prejudice and racism against even different "models" of white people, and the fact that they had to build bigger ships to import more white people because for a while there, there were almost "too many" black folk here....I'm sorry, this country has serious issues. If this country was a baby, in hindsight it would be pretty accurate to say it had a birth defect.  |
