Had thisve already conversation, five years ago in fact. Think back to where you were in the summer of 2015. Vernon and ed now, you graciously gave us your time back then, and we spoke in the wake of a Confederate Flag being taken down in South Carolina, following the murder of nine parishioners at southern annual church in charleston at that time.

Portrays Thomas Jefferson. We wanted to do something a little bit different this week. Given the National Conversation and given events all around us, we know that 2020 has been a challenging year.
