Skate Bug | Sep 25, 2018
Lynn Lacey | Sep 25, 2018

Wonderful place to learn your history, to see and understand how great we are as a people. It helps us understand why so many people are intimidated by our power. We as a people, must learn our greatness and continue to build from that. Especially after learning the things that they have put in on neighborhood to destroy us.
