It seems like every news story, television show or movie concentrates on showing the most negative stereotypes of our race. Be it violent criminals or rappers degrading themselves and our women; we are bombarded daily with these images of non-achieving people who contribute nothing to our once proud legacy. This is a false image, an image that threatens all that is precious to our history in this country.
This presentation does not contain all of their faces, I apologize for this and hope that I will someday be able to find them all. These people have largely gone unnoticed in the news media, but they should be in all of our hearts. I know they’re in mine and my condolences go out to the families of these people. May God rest their souls.
So, turn on your speakers, double click your mouse and take a moment to feel their lives, sacrifice and their sorrow.
Clyde D. Dowell II
