@joni_w5 Joni, I pray you are well & able to smile. You are still standing by the grace of God! To lose both a child & husband is inconceivable. Know that now YOUR gift to them is to live life FULLY; to enjoy sunrises, rainy days, mountain trails,beaches & memories. I pray u love again.
Pt 2 the "whites only" counter of Woolworth:
* By the end of Feb 1960, sit-ins spread to at least 250 cities in the USA with over 400 taking place by the end of 1960.
* Woolworth's was desegregated by the end of July 1960.
As Black History Month begins today, we remember and honor those who have come before, and we work to build a brighter future for all who follow in their steps. Our ongoing charge is to build a more just and inclusive America.
The "whites only" lunch counter of Woolworths was about to change. These 4 students were told they would not be served. Police were called, but the Greensboro 4 stayed until the store closed.
* Feb 2, 1960 — 25 more students from A&T and other colleges & universities joined them.

@GodflyThe @hanorchwill What could possibly be the intent of such a nauseating statement other than to rain on the parade? Perhaps, to reinforce the idea that blacks are portrayed as murderers? Maybe to view all people in prison as guilty? How about to throw away the key as if people are disposable?
@PabPab21 He’s still your Dad. THEIR marriage problem is NOT YOUR PROBLEM. He might not live with you but you can still have a relationship. It’s not too late.
@Kawaii___Kiwii Unblock him. Find him. I don’t want u to hv regrets later. He wasn’t rejecting you. He’d been locked up too long to relate. People on the outside have expectations they can’t live up to. It’s scary and shocking to come back to a world that changed so much. Forgive & reach out.
@9ige @HeFromStLouis U r strong. Because of him you were conceived. Maybe sperm donor is all he had to offer, it’s all good. You are beautiful & ALIVE. You can’t hate him b/c that’s half of you. Take the good, dismiss the bad and do better yourself. You can’t control what he didn’t but you can ctrl u
@favdanii I’m sooo sorry. I pray that God puts GOOD older men in your life that can be a father figure. Pour all that love for your father on someone that really needs it. Believe me, it helps. I have adopted a man in his 80’s who has no one.
@myulaflaga @katerina0527 Why this didn’t get thousands of likes puzzles me but then I guess that explains the comment about the shoes - wrong focus/priorities. Ur Dad is a HERO! call him today & tell him I said so! & thank him again. He knew education wld give u opportunity that a cell phone might block
@DJScottyFox ITS NOT UR FAULT. Know that ur Dad wld not want u to carry the burden of guilt AND of his incarceration. You have given yourself a life sentence w/o parole. STOP. Believe that is not the life ur Dad wld want 4 u. Pls Forgive ur self, him, mom too & LIVE in peace. Call me anytime
@EbonyJackin I’m sooo happy for you both! This is BIG! Give that man a HUG from me! ANY Daddy bringing lunch is special-YES MEN IT REALLY MEANS THAT MUCH! What a GIFT to have ur Father ALIVE, free & treating you special. Take care of him. Life on the outside is scary-changes, culture shock
