    Opal Lee has been a close family friend dating back to 1930s Fort Worth and is one of the most sweetest, caring and funniest people to know.
    Keep walking Ms. Opal.

    Remembrance of when the slaves in Texas we're told that the Republican Abraham Lincoln and armies of White people had freed them.
    I would rather celebrate the passage of the 13th Amendment which ended legal slavery except as punishment for crimes for fairly convicted criminals.
    Five to ten at hard labor, sound like a reasonable punishment for armed robbery to me. It might even teach them that work ain't so bad.
