I found your fascinating! What a truly noble and lovely woman she was and I'm so glad to be able to learn of her. <BR/>I saw the movie, "Glory," and still get sick to my stomach when I think of it. I watched it on VHS, which is a good thing because I couldn't handle the brutality. When they just "tossed" his body in the open grave, my heart broke. That was probably the best movie I wish I'd never seen...<BR/>~~~Blessings~~~Amazing Graciehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12788890988002911896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6152307338772205194.post-11114467028717728182007-07-16T03:05:00.000-04:002007-07-16T03:05:00.000-04:00as usual i learned again new info from you. thanks...as usual i learned again new info from you. thanks for sharing.<BR/><BR/>happy mondayAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6152307338772205194.post-71092119219889626712007-07-16T02:22:00.000-04:002007-07-16T02:22:00.000-04:00I also thought that somebody lost his marbles with...I also thought that somebody lost his marbles with this word ! and you handled the theme very well I too thought about marble sculptures.Gattinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06636525277807715146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6152307338772205194.post-9556594864917237472007-07-16T01:05:00.000-04:002007-07-16T01:05:00.000-04:00Great MM post!!Great MM post!!the Book of Keirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06822287393601058364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6152307338772205194.post-11505155744674584822007-07-15T23:05:00.000-04:002007-07-15T23:05:00.000-04:00man, this is and educational theme for mmman, this is and educational theme for mmSarge Charliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03533766216808955625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6152307338772205194.post-28410071452830564132007-07-15T22:57:00.000-04:002007-07-15T22:57:00.000-04:00Danielle & Comedy+ - Manic Monday provides me an o...<B>Danielle & Comedy+</B> - Manic Monday provides me an opportunity to research some little-known aspects of Black history.
