Past Events
No Plantation Christmas Dec. 25, 2017. https://www.facebook.com/events/1740278132945526/ Did a reading of slave narratives at daybreak on Christmas morning. There were two videos done. https://www.facebook.com/events/1740278132945526/permalink/1740572302916109/ by myself. My first one. Sunspot videos did one also, which was much better. https://www.facebook.com/sunspotvideo/videos/1561764790572078/
Lee Parkway name must go. Nov. 4, 2017 https://www.facebook.com/events/489586781400802/ This event drew the irate response of Linda Parsal, local "liberal." This was in response to the Mayfair residents efforts to keep the name Lee Parkway. The background to this protest and subsequent efforts is at this page. http://www.templeofdemocracy.com/mayfair.html.
