A black bourgeoisie perspective on U.S. politics
A family photo that shows a little girl beside her father and his fellow soldiers in uniform as they prepare to go to war has resonated well beyond the tight knit Bennethum clan.
Four-year-old Paige Bennethum really, really didn’t want her daddy to go to Iraq.
So much so, that when Army Reservist Staff Sgt. Brett Bennethum lined up in formation at his deployment this July, she couldn’t let go.
No one had the heart to pull her away.
Good Morning.
TGIF, and spend some of it at JJP.
Drop those links. Engage in debate. Give us trivia and gossip too.
And always, have a peaceful day.
