Your article titled “Sanitizing History” hit on some very important points about how we communicate our history to the generations that follow. This distortion of our (America’s History) for there is no American history without the “peopling” of the North American continent. Your suggestion to carry the truth of this complex history to every segment of institutions particularly the church, rings true in regards to the Church’s calling of reconciliation.
Thank you for sharing…

Fred because I’m writing a play on the topic of Greenwood for the centenary. It is a play which requires insight and opinion from people like yourself. Please will you make contact with me when you get this.
Excuse the relaxed grammatical world building there.
Thank you for this article on J.B. Stradford, who I believe is a graduate of Indiana University School of Law, Indianapolis. I am a graduate of that law school as well and would like to recognize J.B. Stradford next year as the outstanding alumnus. For that reason, I’m trying to make contact with Laurel Stradford, to obtain her support and involvement as 2021 would be 100 years after the destruction of Black Wall Street. The only other relative that I have been able to find is Eric Stradford in Marietta, GA. Please help if you can.
