Cameron,

Thank you for the history lesson. Remind me to get mad at all my professors and other educators that told me things completely different than what you have. I will remember to share with them how wrong they were about the Civil Rights Movement and any other event that dealt with racial issues in this country. Thank you once again for showing me the light. Where would I be in this world without your vast knowledge of race and America?

Peace
