I live 20 minutes from The Civil Rights Museum. It’s always one of my favorite places to go and I enjoy black history so much so that I told my now husband I wanted to go there on a first date with him since he had never been there. It’s always been a place of reverence and wonder for me, but I will never forget the time that I went to visit and all of the visitors had to go downstairs to the basement during a tornado warning. That part was unexpected. I always learned something new every time I go.

Gosh, this made me so sad to see. What a tragedy for humanity. I loved what you wrote and I had never really heard the lyrics to Stevie Wonder's birthday song. Thanks for sharing your pics/perspective/heart with us.
