On Monday, April 9th, 2018, I received a call at 12:30a.m. while working the night shift at Shands Hospital. The Fire Department was telling me my house was totally engulfed in flames. They made it plain that there was nothing I could do ... nothing I could get out of the house. So I stayed with my patients and went to the remains of my house when morning came.

I need help to reestablish a home and the research base I used in all my community endeavors from pushing Black History into schools to arguing for better and desegregated housing in my town.
