Quote by Niedria D. Kenny

“Someone asked me today, what happened. It made me reflect but in reflecting, I also realized that the world is still the same. Still the stigmas associated with certain things our society does not know or care to listen, read or research. They are comfortable with not taking the time to listen, nor give you time to answer before chiming in.”

' They have souls & are subjects of salvation' he continued and even suggested that 'Slaves in washington [were] more refined than the presidents.' Give them equal opportunity, in other words, and they could achieve equal or greater results.”
