When I moved to Toronto in the '70's, Ms. Harrison was the 1st Black teacher I had ever seen & was led by in school. Ms. Harrison invited some of my fellow Black students to her house for a gathering. I stepped into a house that seeped of Afro-centric history, purpose, art, books, music, images.

The problem with I have with NPR is that two years ago, they seemed quite settled in the position of blasting out propaganda to support the Ukrainians against Russia. They gave broadcast time to a Nazi supporting Ukrainian mayor. Like the BBC, take with a pinch a salt

Some of us, are just the absolute worst examples of man. How this guy has been tolerated in a sane world is beyond comprefknhension. He and his supporters deserve the death penalty, and I would volunteer to administer the dose, but I know the cue is long long long.
