“I grew up on a farm and, prior to my father's murder, I wanted to get away from the farm, and away from South Georgia where the Jim Crow laws absolutely controlled anything and everything we did. So, my goal was to leave once I completed high school.

So, my father's murder has shaped the course of my life even up to this very day.”

They can cuddle you sweetly, or make you get on your knees and beg.”
