And thats how we learned history in school. Either the books we took out of the library in fourth and fifth grade or the way history was taught. But when i got to graduate school in the 60s, i discovered that some of my fellow students who were, who came from overseas, would come to me periodically and said who is this joe and why should he say it aint so . And so, i told him the story. And later, a friend of hour ours whos an immigrant doctor from south africa came to me and said why do my patients when they see me say whats up doc and laugh ma maniacally sm people who were under 30 had no idea anymore of what these slogans and catch phrases meant.

So i told her the story. And then, much much later, a friend of ours who is an immigrant doctor from south africa came to me and said, why do my patience, when they see me, say whats up doc

Good evening, supervisors. I am here standing in solidarity and asking for the defunding of the Sheriffs Department and request it be redirected towards multiple populations and in my work i have had the special opportunity to work for residents and employees who have seen firsthand the negative impact policing has had on our community and life threatening situations.
