What should the young boys in our family be told about growing up African-American in 2012? Any danger signs? Any advantages? What lessons can we learn from this sad story (as our hearts go out to his family)? Should we care?

Pictured left is Lena Bell Richardson, one of KOH's great aunts on his mother's side. For KOH, it was Aunt Martha Gibson (born cc 1895), who was like a second mom to him, when he was growing up in Slate Hill, Roanoke County. In fact, their homes shared a "phone line" during those early years. How about you? Who was like a second parent to you? |
