I was born in Galveston, TX in 1954, and am presently living near Beaumont, TX with my life partner. I can still remember separate drinking fountains and restrooms for blacks and whites in the small town in which I lived in the early 1960s. My mother's focus of necessity was on survival, but she nonetheless managed to teach me at that early age how horribly unjust segregation was. I am the oldest of five children. I believe passionately in the need to fight for justice and equality, to help those who are less fortunate. Though I am a loner by nature, I did begin to make some forays into political activism after George W Bush managed to steal the presidency in 2000.
