I have never been humbled by a moment (outside of my trip to the White House and meeting President Barack Obama ) like I was on today Friday, June 11, 2010 when I was blessed to walk the grounds of  the Alex Haley farm outside of Knoxville, TN.  I walked the rooms of his home and sat in his writing room and wept! It was the enormity of what his writing has created that caused me to touch the wallof this room and take it all in!  I stood in the library on the farm in the window that John Hope Franklin and Dr. Maya Angelou stood in front of while gazing at the lake!  I was stunted in the moment as I reflected on the ancestors who walked those grounds and the legacy of Freedom Fighters who shared intimate moments with Mr. Haley!  I can not thank you enough Children's Defense Fund for all that you gave me during my time with you!  I will be uploading pictures soon!
