Ya'll make me smarter. Thank You.

You are sorely missed.

I learned so much here. They are sorely missed.

It is still hard for me to believe that they were so mistreated on a Democratic board. smh

I seldom see any of them post here anymore. I find it sad their voice was silenced on a Democratic board. Yet some that tried to remove them are no longer with us.

all through 2016, to a remarkable degree. It still is of course, but the departures, and reasons for them, were and are very sad.

Still they were run off. They shut the lights off. They are gone, yet not forgotten. Never forgotten.

For those who will never be truly far away so long as they are remembered

we lost a great deal when we lost so many of our African American voices. DU was better and stronger with them here.

And very poignant given the re-normalization of the marginalization of so many in the Republican party's new America.

In the craziest part of the primaries and GE this place the AA Group was sane.

So, I want to say hello to all the folks who may stop by to read but have been unfairly driven away...

We are now and will always be stronger together!
