It&#8217;s been an incredible experience that has enriched my life in ways that I could not have imagined when I began this journey.

					<description><![CDATA[Like many of you I watched HISTORY&#8217;s 3-night documentary about Abraham Lincoln. The previews suggested that it would adopt the standard format for recent documentaries that includes dramatic scenes complimented by commentary from historians and other public intellectuals. I didn&#8217;t expect anything new and in the end the documentary failed to deliver anything new. Overall, [&#8230;]]]></description>

Of course, it has nothing to do with diversity or history and everything to do with the continued attempt to drive a wedge between the Confederacy and slavery and protect [&#8230;]]]></description>
