American Experience

It has been some time since I posted to this blog or updated this site. Frankly I had to turn away for a while - it was too hard to keep it up. But tonight something is happening. My family, along with Howard Dully, are being featured on PBS's American Experience. Here is a clip of my aunt and mother:

This has been a long time in coming. Howard Dully has a book out called "My Lobotomy". My family has had the chance to honor my grandmother Beulah Jones and make her story known to the world. I have accomplished what I set out to do. Beulah did not die forgotten.

I will post again after the show.

More than anything I am honored, incredibly honored and humbled, to have our family and Beulah's story remembered as an integral part of American history.
