2. Thanks marble falls, Black History is U.S. History and I am always impressed by the strength of the people who

never gave up the fight.

3. K&R

My paternal grandfather was born in 1900, and he was a Pullman Porter.

5. I bet getting his kids and grand-kids educated was a high priority for him. All Pullman Porters read and wrote ...

... to a higher degree than the national avg, I bet.

6. He was big on education and even more of a stickler for good manners.

I was always on my best behavior around him (except for one time) because I didn't want to disappoint him. (I still feel awful about that one time).

We can also take tips from the fight against Jim Crow for fighting the fascistic policies of Trumpism.
