[Ohio-talk] 50th year of the dream

[COLLEEN ROTH]

Hi Cheryl,
I agree with you. It does take courage to stand up for our beliefs.
There is another group who are sometimes even lower in our Societal Ratings. Those who are blind and have another disability.
Think about those people who are muljhandicapped and also happen to be African-American.
Thank God Davood was loved by many of you at the NFB Conventions.
You know who you are.

Cokleen Roth
