About Me

For feedback, questions, or corrections, send a note to: bernice.paglia "at" gmail.com.

ReplyDeleteOh those wily Christians! They always co opted the important days of any of the Old Cultures in order to get over. Nowadays, it might be some justice that corporations are doing it again, making big business out of how much they can sell on many of those holidays.
ReplyDeleteI don't know enough of the local town history to name anyone in respect to Black History Month. However, after living in the city for more than twelve years, I definitely can reflect on relationships with black neighbors and friends who have certainly enriched my own personal history and life. Today's present is tomorrow's history.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the Seahawks Bernice !
