Happy Birthday, Dr. Sowell!

Reading your Op Ed’s in the old Pittsburgh Press back in the 70’s was one of my first intros to Conservatism.

Your appearance with Walter Williams on The Rush Limbaugh Show may have been Black America’s finest hour.

So many interviews on YouTube with this man from past to the present I enjoy watching. Such a wise man.

If ever there was a “black life” that mattered, it is Thomas Sowell.

He’s the ONE PERSON who convinced me to never subject my kids to public schools - which was the SMARTEST thing I ever did in my life (and I’ve done a lot of smart things...and dumb things). All of my kids were ‘off the books’ when they were 20 years old (or younger) and actually respect their parents.

Too bad very few conservatives actually read his books, as evidenced by the vast majority of conservatives STILL sending their kids to public schools (because it’s ‘free’, I guess).
