It’s a Wonderful Wednesday at Nana’s Place. Where would we be with DR. HENRY SAMPSON JR. – He is the first African American to earn a Ph.D.in Nuclear Engineering in the United States.

It’s a thinking Tuesday at Nana’s Place. Where would we be with Marie Tarver? Brown vs. Board of Education Supreme Court decision 50 years ago which determined that “Separate but Equal” was unconstitutional.
