"The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command." — George Orwell, 1984.

I had an important appointment today.
I’ve been feeling bluesy so I laid out a “hapoy outfit” to wear.
I wore my Reading Rainbow T-shirt.
I got so MANY comments!
So many folk told me how happy that show made them (me too). LeVar Burton did so much good for little Black children but also for others.
