My son (and SLPS student) Milo Marston performed today with The Sheldon’s All-Star Chorus at UMSL’s MLK Day celebration. I didn’t really know what it means to be proud of someone until I had kids.
The keynote speaker was Fredrika Newton, Huey P. Newton’s widow. Her talk about being committed, body and soul, to the well-being of a community hit me hard. Afterwards, I made myself useful by taking group photos for people and got a chance to thank Fredrika. She wished me luck on my school board run.
