I liked the comic. I felt the same way about the school when I attended. It definitely felt like home. Thank you to the Southside Weekly team. You all have done a tremendous job covering the Robeson story.
A story beautifully told — and though I don’t even know how to skate, I was able to relate.
That was not intended to rhyme.
