Vicki, This is why I was sooooo anxious that Ray "STUDY & GRADUATE UNIVERSITY!" July15th 2010 Thank God Ray Graduates! I'll send you a pic! To Hell with the cost! Black people have to continue making their mark on Society! The only people until this year were Asians. This year Ray was also placed with some African Guys! Look how amazing this young Lady is! More Power to her "She is Black!" Parents have to start pushing black kids forward and with the Help of God they will do likewise to their own children....Then maybe...Just maybe the racio of Black & White Students may reach equel!

Spread the good news, because the news media won’t!
Subject: Notre Dame's first black valedictorian
This should have been Plastered all over the evening news and yet it was not! Think about it! The white owned press that forms public opinion enthusiastically blurts out negative images of our young men with trousers hanging off their rumps, braided heads, tattooed bodies and mouths bedecked with gold. Fox news Inc. lives on that kind of fare. Along comes a sweet success story and you don't hear or see anything from the major news networks. This upsets me to no end. Please send this around to any and everyone you can think of that will promulgate this bit of good news.
