The Great new shows just keep coming -- Og hopes you’re enjoying them as much as I am!
In My Dad the Healer, Rex Ellis weaves a touching tale about his father showing him how to be a man. Dr. Ellis, teacher, historian, storyteller extraordinaire, and vice president of the Historic Area at Colonial Williamsburg, shares a few moments in his life where he learned from his strong, hard-working father that you don’t have to be rich or famous to be a hero to your family and others.
Fountain Hughes, 101 year-old grandson of a slave owned by Thomas Jefferson, has a few words of wisdom to share with everyone in Voices From the Time of Slavery. In this short clip from the American Memory Project, Mr. Hughes cautions us to be satisfied with what we have, and never get into debt. Og doesn’t know about you, but when a 101 year-old passes along advice, I usually take it! You can get more information on the American Memory Project at memory.loc.gov.
