  • There's a Lynchburg in Virginia too...I flinch everytime I hear the name slip between someone's lips. It's a shameful day when it's 2009 and we still gotta see, hear of, or associate ourselves with Lynch-ANYTHING.

    obviously, that's not the only thing i got from his piece. it was breathtaking and admirable. and it's a shame that THESE aren't the stories we get to hear about in our history classes.
