I was the last unsung hero at the program and honored laureate for my work and i was honored for the city and the mayor elected someone else. Now you know who i am. I have known this gentleman for the last 50 years. I have the video of his mother and ed rub ins who was nominated for the pulitzer prize. And i have known her. Anyway, i think this gentleman deserves considerations for one of these grants coming up. I have worked election polls and in 1957 and i have been part of the community. When i started the Poetry Programs, the African American History Program i funded that out of my own pocket without any help. The friends of the library have contributed a couple hundred dollars every year and the poet like the christmas song, Nat King Cole and debra mason and janet, they have been in pr
