This audience really merits it. I thought maybe one day if i write this book and people notice it maybe one day the mayor of charleston will be holding it in front of an audience, a packed house. This is what happened one week after the book was released. Its truly beyond my wildest dreams. The book tells the story of reconstruction and im going to read some passages from it some of which you will see from the Police Department some that deal with the mayor and the current mayor here. The point is we are all heirs to something. We have no say. We are born where we are and we have no say in what we inherit and all we have control of his will he do with it. We can recount some of the triumphs and some of the greatest tragedies but i think moving on from the tragedy of 2015 you created this group. You decided intentionally to create the space word difficult issues in the community could be discussed. It would have been easy and very human to say the murder was not from charleston, you hav
Heurich was 11 years old living in germany. In 1853, she was a white woman from new york, moved down here and built the first africanamerican Teaching School for free africanamericans in washington, d. C. This is before the civil war. It was also called the miner school for colored girls. Mytrilla came in 1851 and only had 100 in her pocket when she came. Most people thought she would be arrested or killed when she said what she wanted to do. And although there were abolitionists who sympathized with her cause it was like her own independent project. I first thought for a while when i first read about the story she might have been some kind of tool of the Abolition Movement, really, she came down here all on her own at the start. She first established the school by the force of her own will, something almost unimaginable, giving the cultural firsts that opposed her at the time. Remember, this is a woman who came by herself to a city she never visited before, a city where slavery was st

Why microsoft is boosting its videogame investment. Developingid to be an augmented reality headset that could be in store by 2019. A couple of things will set this apart from available ar devices. It will contain its own display. It will also have its dedicated operating system. I sat down with mark gurman who broke this story. I think we had an in depth look at a lot of projects. At apple, there is this team newing on two headsets and systems for the iphone. The new headset they are working on is one that runs its own operating system and doesnt have to have an iphone attached to it.

She said because he was willing to forgive.
