10. My husband's middle name is Lee. His cousin's name is Jefferson.

Those names came from their grandfather, Jefferson Lee, who was named after Jefferson Davis and Robert E. Lee. My husband put this together while doing some research into the family tree and while wondering around a cemetery, where he found a confederate marker on his ancestor's grave that was placed there by the daughters of the confederacy.

It was not a good time and it literally caused him emotional distress. He was horrified.

I always love irony. It was on Arthur Ashe Blvd. I LOVED Arthur Ashe growing up. When others of my tennis team were emulating Chris Evert, I found his style and kind nature far more compelling.

12. Ought to opt to donate the insurance money to BLM, FairFight, My Brother's Keeper..and then

after such atonement, maybe God will remove the scourge of the coronavirus that he has visited upon the United States.

11. Gosh, what a shame

NOT.

[magicarpet]

15. The Daughters of Racists and Fascists,...

Who would want to brag about that ?

They should hang their heads in shame, seek honest atonement, then strive to build a better more inclusive society where we all enjoy dignity and respect no matter what ones ancestry or tone/shade/color of ones skin.
