Bless your heart! This was all I was trying to say. At another school I showed a group of Black students this list and their eyes lit up and they said. These men look like my daddy and I want to be like them someday! This is all I want. I want all Americans to be included in the mosaic of accomplishment.
Liberals need the black community to stay on the democrat plantation... and that takes ‘keeping wounds salted’...
The courage black citizens showed in the time of slavery and into the Jim Crow South - while keeping their dignity and families together should also be noted. Marriage rates for black citizens back then was higher than the white rate... etc.
MLK with his example of how to stand up to a society of corrupt 'elites' is also a blessing given to our country - and the world. And yeah, I know he borrowed from Mahatma Gandhi AND our founding fathers - but he put it together in a unique style that worked - and changed the world.
