Thanks Mary. I enjoy your History. Lots to think about. The date on this
court ruling was shocking.
It was okay for these minorities to fight and give their lives in WWII,
but not to buy a piece of land
when/if they came home. Shame shame~! :-(
Lighter note: lots of musical birthdays..........and still folks on
the list older than me. LOL~! :-)
Thanks again for sending these so faithfully Mary.
