Thanks for writing! I finished the transcription for your post. Well said. I wonder if you will get a response from the Governor's Office.

Thank you so much for writing! I finished the transcription for your post. My husband and I spent quite a while discussing what you had written so clearly; a lot of it already being things He knew and had previously discussed with me. I learned from your writing and for that I thank you. I agree it should be one world for us all, and live in hope it will happen during my lifetime. It all depends on how we teach our children and their willingness to stand up for what is right to effect the changes needed. I hope a lot more people get to read what you have written. Thanks again. Take care.

hi George,

I wondered if you'll read this? And if you still are in segregation? Our visits were so short- you were cuffed... cuffs of 'injustice' :(( I came from that far... to see you that little as 4 hours, behind glass... Is that the way America treats his sons, I wrote to Jessica. I remembered her of your position, George. Just in case!
Only for having a socialistic activism Newsletter in your possession! One you got all the time in the past.
Is that called wrong doing? Who should be punished,I ask you?
And you couldn't even warn me before I came to visit. Can wardens go ahead and just go away with it?!
I hope you were able to call your dad? I will give him a call tomorrow to know what Internal Affairs decided.
My real hope is that you are out by now... , but I fear it's not yet the end.
Gera knows by now. Just terrible,she wrote! No words for it, my love.
I will send more letters just to cheer you up in these hard times, George. :))
Take very well care of yourself, and remember always that I am there to care for you.

Your sweetie, Rita xxx

Hi piankhi,
got my letter? To answer your questions, no, there is no separation for interviews, and I couldnt find the alphonso interview...
I wonder if putting the text again in the response has not a negative effect on people reacting to it as it looks a bit messy. I could send directly.
Ju

Thanks for writing! I will pray you get to the new facility before Christmas so you can spend time with your family. I am sure the emotion of the occasion will be just as acute for the ones who come to visit you as it will be for you. Good luck!

"In 2003, Kwesi Mfume, then president of the (NAACP) gave a speech
at Virginia tech and told people that, at Merriam-Webster
Dictionary, will no longer print the word Nigger synonymous with
African Americans in their publications." (do your own research).

You see, people tend to believe nobody can see through what on the
surface seems to be solid and sound argument against the use of the
word Nigga amongst inner city youth, especially when desplaying
lexicons that have been altered with definitions due to pressure
from those that view all things politically correct, when by
default, the only thing achieved by definition changes is that our
youth are poorly miseducated on the true orgins of a word that should
impower blac youth, and not impower Southern American white
enslavers that abused all things Black.
