Among the many things I am grateful for this Thanksgiving are

the science of ground-penetrating radar and North Carolina’s public records laws. For the first time, we know, if not who, then how many, lie in Vick Cemetery;

all who gathered on a steamy August morning to recognize and celebrate sacred Vick Cemetery;

all who stand shoulder to shoulder to demand justice for Vick and those who cloak us in prayer;

all who have worked to clear Odd Fellows of decades of overgrowth and debris, and all who intend to do so in Season 4;

all who support Lane Street Project in any way, shape, or form;

all who read Black Wide-Awake and like, comment, or contribute ideas, feedback, and photos;

sound body, strong mind!
