And wow, the African-Americans that fought or protested, did go through a lot. And I think we (Nigerians) can get there, but there's that part of me that thinks there will have to be changes and movements, first of all.Afolabihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05811670308614659267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16811796.post-504980942503174892009-01-22T09:22:00.000-08:002009-01-22T09:22:00.000-08:00Amen!E go happen...one day!Happy new year dear.Amen!E go happen...one day!<BR/><BR/>Happy new year dear.princesahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09206405119446956019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16811796.post-46608798325801021812009-01-21T16:10:00.000-08:002009-01-21T16:10:00.000-08:00We will get there but then it needs work.
