Welcome to My Personal Page
I've walked in the Race Against Hate for the majority of years since it started. The senseless murder of Ricky Byrdsong, one other individual and the wounding of 7 others that week-end in 1999 is something we should not forget. More importantly, hate of others, bigotry, ignored mental health issues and the easy procrument of guns including semi-automatic weapons is something we still need to continually fight against. While this has been a horrible period of violence in the history of our country, the Race Against Hate is always a positive event with so many like minded individuals of all ages participating.
Over the years I've walked with my dear friend, Rose Thomas, who passed away in 2014 well as other friends including Kay Shannon, Andrea Seeley (chairing our team this year,) and Judi Bayer. This year will be the first time I have joined a team...Learning Bridge Early Education Center. I'm proud to be a board member at Learning Bridge. Learning Bridge is a community based, 501(c)(3) nonprofit preschool whose mission is to strengthen families by providing high quality, affordable full-day early learning programs for infants and toddlers. The highest priority is to help children from all socioeconomic backgrounds gain the skills they need to succeed in school, while fostering the shared community values of cooperation and respect for one another.
The Learning Bridge mission corresponds to the mission of the Ricky Byrdsong Race Against Hate which per its founder, Sherilyn Byrdsong, "unites people of different racial, religious and ethnic backgrounds to celebrate diversity, promote reconciliation and declare that racism is not welcome or tolerated ANYWHERE in America."
Please join our team in support of both of these wonderful missions.
