Most Recent Reflection
View all 13 ReflectionsI only recently learned about the heroic acts of this great man. Unlike the others of his era, he stood up to the clan to defend the young black youth falsely accused of crime which i am sure led to his murder. His service will never be forgotten and his story should be known so it can be an inspiration to everyone.
