Thanks to professor Anderson for a brief and informative description. I have begun reading the first of two books I purchased on Rev. Whitfield he worked with my grandfather in St Louis on a political campaign and rally to address the Howard Lynching. He is one of those men who devoted his life to addressing inequality but sadly is not as well known as others who did less.

My great grandfather was a tenant farmer in the Bootheel. Similar to a sharecropper, their home was owned by the farmer and their groceries were purchased at his store on credit which was ran by his wife. The farmer's family would pass down their store bought clothes to my cousins. This was as late as the 1970's.

LIKE the WORKER the AMERICAN FARMER was the MOST PRODUCTIVE FARMER in the WORLD. GROWING so much that the AGRICULTURE DEPARTMENT CREATED PROGRAMS for them not to PLANT and GROW some CROPS , MILK , BUTTER CHEESE were SURPLUS IDEMS which were GOOD and BAD in way . The GREAT DEPRESSION the WORST DROUGHT in a HUNDRED YEAR'S to the MID WEST along the BANKING CRISS in this NATION caused the WORST TIME in this NATION HISTORYS and without the FAR SIGHTENESS of INDIVIDUALS in this NATION and SOCIETY . The WORLD ERUPTING into WAR in both EUROPE and the FAR EAST at the same TIME the PRESIDENT and PEOPLE of this NATION that pulled though most do understand why those that know for TIME in HISTORY the FAULT had to be put aside and they did .EVERY CITIZEN of this of EVERY COLOR had to PULL their WEIGHT in it if not it ALL would have been LOST. RACISM ,SEXISM ,, CHAVAISM the FLAUTS which had in way ad HELD this NATION BACK had to be OVERCOME for to WAR and was . For so REASON in the SMALL MINDEDNESS of today WORLD some want to REBUILD and RETURN to a TIME which HELD this NATION and SOCIETY to a PERIOD which did not BENIFIT this NATION and SOCIETY buy HURT it MORE then HELPED it , I think WE NEED to THINK about before REGRESSING in the WORLD instead of PROGRESSING in the WORLD.
