Please research The Bench By The Road Project. On April 23, 2009, I attended a bench dedication in Oberlin, Ohio along with my sister Cheryl. Area residents as well as students from local schools were at a park located at N. Main (Rt. 58) & Lorain Streets. (Rt. 511) for the dedication program “A Bench By The Road, A tribute In Memory Of the Enslaved Persons Who Sought Refuge in Oberlin.” Nobel Laureate (& beautiful Lorain native) Toni Morrison was there and spoke at the dedication program. It was really beautiful & overwhelming for me. The bench in Oberlin is inspired by a comment that Ms. Morrison made in 1989 – “There is no suitable memorial, or plaque, or wreath or wall, or park or skyscraper lobby. There’s no 300-foot tower, there’s no small bench by the road.” I think it is an honor that Oberlin, in Lorain County was picked as 1 of only 10 places in the country that a bench will be placed! The wording on the bench reads: “The bench by the Road Project was launched by the Toni Morrison Society in honor of Nobel Laureate Toni Morrison, a native of Lorain, Ohio. This bench is placed in memory of the enslaved men, women and children who followed the path of the Underground Railroad and sought refuge in the community of Oberlin, Ohio, in their quests for emancipation. Their spirit endures and will inspire us until every human is raised up to freedom…
Seeing as karate is a solo sport, kids only can be the best as the effort they put in, which makes them try harder. They are their own team and the better they get, the longer they see any results such as a new belt rank. However, it pushes them to keep trying and be their best. Many kids carry this dedication back into school and chores.

A small ragstone and flint church in a very rural setting to the east of Canterbury. Obviously a Norman church augmented in the 14th Century. There are three keyholders, but it was still very early in the morning so we didn't bother them.

The 200th Anniversary of the Battle of Bladensburg and Monument Dedication. by Jay Baker at Bladensburg, MD.
But as surely as this day comes round we are in the presence of the dead. For one hour, twice a year at least--at the regimental dinner, where the ghosts sit at table more numerous than the living, and on this day when we decorate their graves--the dead come back and live with us. ~Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.
(Excerpt from an address delivered for Memorial Day, May 30, 1884, at Keene, NH, before John Sedgwick Post No. 4, Grand Army of the Republic.) Source: www.usmemorialday.org
Thanks to all the service men & women who made the ultimate sacrifice.
And may we never forget that freedom isn't free.
