Thankful Heritage Inc. is a 501c3 non-profit organization that uses a spectacular traveling black history museum full of African American artifacts and workshops to teach black history. Touring the museum is like taking a trip down memory lane for the seniors and an opportunity for the youth to see many of the things concerning black history that their parents, grandparents and teachers have told them about. This is truly an experience everyone will remember forever.

 In 1960, if you were an African American, you were not allowed to sit here--the lunch counter of the F. W. Woolworth store in Greensboro, North Carolina. Racial inequality pervaded American life. And throughout the South, a racist legal system known as "Jim Crow" segregated people by race in restrooms, hotels, restaurants, and most other public accommodations.

Wilkes Native Effley Howell Sr. on Saturday was presented one of this year's three Nancy Susan Reynolds Awards, sometime referred to as "North Carolina's Nobel Prizes."

Prayer of Serenity

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
