NOT! I am getting closer and closer to 30 everyday!

Whereas, I'm sooooo old, that my folks were the ones that MARCHED with King and his collegues. My folks were the ones that experienced first hand what segregation was like. My folks were the ones that GOT sprayed by the water hoses, beaten down by the police batons and had dogs chasing after them. So, basically, I can ask my folks what was it like without difficulty.

Soror, I bet my parents are just as old or older than your parents (especially my father)!
