Ok me and my aunt were lookin thru old photos for pics of my mom. So we come across my grandads old photo album wit pics of my Great Uncle Doug. We found his Obituary and I was amazed at all he had accomplished.
My Great Uncle Doug well.... Major Douglass Williams was great guy. He was a Major in the US Army in a time of straight racism. He fought in WWII, Korea, and Vietnam and had more metals and honors than I could name. He was even a parachuter in the army.
Any of ya have anybody in ya fam ya wanna give praise to?

In 1994, my cousin became the first Black valedictorian of my high school, and the school opened in 1982.
That's all I can think of right now.

Also to my grandmother and great-grandmother, it's a blessing that you are both still alive and healthy. You both have provided the foundation for my success and I'm proud that you are here to see the 5th generation , my daughter.
