I am a product of the south, specifically the state of ALABAMA. Growing up I was taught everything there is to know about the struggle of my people. Especially the struggle that was endured within my home state. I admire and inspire to be as strong as those who fought for me to have equal rights. That generation is one mighty group of GOD FEARING folks. My generation can learn a thing or two from them. *Yall better go talk to your grandparents, great grandparents and great aunts and uncles* They will have some stories to tell you.
