I still remain incredibly optimistic that we will find our way out of it that we will find our way to Racial Justice and that we will build a better world which is what all of us, i think, would like to do. I want to focus on the debate which exists about ethics and capitalism. There is an old story about business that i

As mentioned earlier today, chief adams serves on preservation virginias board of trustees. It was at his urging that this symposium came to be. The chief served as a strong advocate for the federal recognition of the upper mattaponi. In the lead up to 2007, chief adams actively participated in the Jamestown Committee and activities associated. I can say we spent a lot of time together. At various events around the state.

Chief adams has generously dedicated himself to numerous causes and organizations across the commonwealth. It is an honor to introduce chief adams. Chief adams thank yo
