There is a fight brewing in Florida and many people argue that guns should be allowed on college campuses. To begin with, this is an absurd notion because many students are too young to get a permit to carry a concealed weapon. But common sense does not prevail when conservatives and Republicans start talking about their guns.

ABCs by Lawrence A. Robinson
When I think about my friends and family members who have transitioned out of this earthly physical presence into my memory, I usually smile. I smile because my thoughts are only of the good times that we shared. I almost never think about unhappy incidents during our times here together. The memory is always clear and even if the actual incident was painful, the memory still makes me smile. Such is the case with my good friend, Charles Campbell who died several years ago.

Interesting. I just received a book from one of my brothers, who still lives in Tampa. The book is titled, 'African Americans Of Tampa'. This is a historical picture book of Tampa and Hillsborough County, Fl. of how Black people, their events and their activities influenced growth and changes in the area. It chronicled the struggles, the wins and losses of 'Negro' life in Florida's 'City by the Bay.'
