…On your stop at the airport in Newport News today you will be very close to my mother’s house. The folks in Williamsburg would love for you to swing through to see the House of Burgess, which paved the way for democracy by housing the general assembly of elected officers from around the VA colony….
…I encourage you to head over to the Harvey B. Gantt Center for African American Arts during your visit to Charlotte.

I’m sure you noticed the effects of breathing in those microscopic particles that you were inhaling yesterday while you rallied In Minden….
Reading about Sgt. Maj. Thomas "Patrick" Payne who you will be honoring with the Medal of Honor this afternoon lifted my spirits. … I love his humility. He doesn’t consider himself a recipient of the Medal, rather a “guardian” of it, because he believes that all of the soldiers that he fought with are heroes.
