Lurma and Jamelle:
Your beloved mother and others who followed in her footsteps changed America, especially its southern region, when this nation was unwilling to accommodate itself to the mandates of civil discourse and common decency. Because Gloria Blackwell lived her life so splendidly and because she took to the streets and to the classrooms to deliver, without fear or equivocation, the messages etched in this nation's Founding Docmments, America did not die of a moral rot...

I am sorry to learn of Dr. Blackwell's passing. I didn't have her for a class, but throughout my coming and going to my English classes, I'd see her and she always had a very beautiful smile and I'd hear students who did have her as a professor speak very highly of her.
May her family be comforted by wonderful memories and her legacy of service and selflessness continue.
