Rats, I have to babysit. If I send you a statement, could you read it, or is that allowed?

Good luck with your important mission today. I wish I could be in Jackson to show support. Building the museum downtown is of crucial importance to the area. Carry on1

Who is actually going to decide where the museum is going to be?

the Governor..March 11(at the Woolfolk building) is the proposed vote on the "recommendation" The Guv then has to approve or deny it. But seeming as though the commission is full of his supporters from the African American community(the tougaloo grads)..You do the math...Thus the outrage.

Equals Tougaloo, suxs don't it? Are you planning on camping out on the Guv's lawn the night of 10th?

Izzy: I wouldn't be too sure your church doesn't preach hate if your liturgy is not gender-inclusive. Think about it - is God really a "He" or a "Father"? Those are some images or visions of ...
