Celebrating A Legacy



Last weekend I attended a celebration with Marc that highlighted the families in the area in which we live, including his grandparents. This is Marc and I after he received a plaque in their honor. It was actually one of the few neighborhoods in this area at the time that black families owned property. Today we live on that same street in which he grew up on family land.


Marc with his aunt who was honored as being one of the long tine seniors of this community. 


This picture shows Marc's paternal grandparents. There were several dignitaries there including Pat Robinson (CBN Founder), Phillup Kellam (Commissioner of Revenue), Mayor William D. Sessoms, Sandra Brandt (Congressional District Chair), and several pastors from within the neighborhood. Marc is actually the Civic Leaque President for our area and did the opening prayer.
