I often think about the time when was went to the hoop for a lay up and you jumped over my head. (A David Thompson) sky walk. I still do not know how you got up that high and how I made the finger-roll. God bless you and your family. George Connie(Davis High).1964

These stories have to be collected and recorded while the elders are still with us. Many thanks for doing this interview and others like it. Their value to historians and to the general public will only increase over time. We are in your debt.

I think that it is so important that we tell our stories and preserve our history so that the younger generations can know how far we’ve come and how resilient we are. I applaud Mr. Reid and Dr. Cherry!

As a graduate of ECSU I find Dr. Cherri’s story to be very compelling and I truly appreciate the contributions to not just the “black community”, but to civil rights that his generation made. I agree with him when he says that my generation is more materialistic that humanistic. As Cherry stated his generation paved the way. However, there I a generation behind him that I feel did not keep the fire burning when it comes to civil rights or even how to conduct yourself. I recently read an interview with Steve Harvey that said the same thing pretty much and made a lot of sense. Somewhere down the line our people stopped fighting as hard and didn’t teach there children the same values and pride that they were taught. Instead many of my peers are forced to start our own legacy instead of following in the footsteps of our fathers because nothing is left for us and we aren’t taught our history. Again, very interesting interview by Mr. Reid! #VikingPride
