All I can say is thank God I woke up! We should all be woke and acknowledge the truth. The only reason to feel guilty about our history it is if you haven't awoken or choose to deny it.

But in particular she was a huge fan of Reggie Jackson... it wasn't just that he was a talented baseball player, but she was proud of all of the contributions that Mr Jackson made helping the community and especially the forgotten children. She said that he put his anger to work. As Mr Jackson says, nobody should need to do that. I hope that Reggie Jackson continues to share his wise words.
