However,\noutside of my reporting of this event it would have been lost and\nexcluded from the South Georgia Historical Archival Records of time,\nspace and destiny forever.   Much like so many other Historic Events\nwithout America\u2019s Civil or Human Rights Organizations knocking on the\ndoors of South Georgia to assist in continuing the work of those that\ngave every ounce of energy to help build a better America!\n<p>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/kvci.blogspot.com\/2010\/12\/arrests-made-in-brooks-voter-fraud-case.html\">\nhttp:\/\/kvci.blogspot.com\/2010\/12\/arrests-made-in-brooks-voter-fraud-case.html<\/a>\n<p>\nMoreover, I am thankful to the Quitman 10, community leaders; along with\nthe Georgia State NAACP President Edward Dubose a National NAACP Board\nMember, District Coordinator Larry Lockett, and Rev. Floyd Rose of the\nSCLC in Valdosta, Georgia for allowing me to cover and publish this story.\n<p>\nOtherwise, it could have been buried and lost forever leaving our children\nalong with coming generations with a distorted and incomplete record of\ntoday\u2019s history&#8212;which is so important to our children and community!\nThis is why I am so thankful for  the Internet, Blogs and You Tube Sites.\nThey were designed to keep the general public informed.  Therefore, I\nlike any Georgians are determined to utilize them along with any other\nsources; available to insure that NO citizen is left deaf; deaf; dumb;\nand bind to the times an unable to make intelligent decisions based on\nfacts 21t Century!\n<p>\nI will key and zero you in, in both latitude and longitude on the target\nof the real news that are of utmost importance to us!  It is my hope\nthat this information will help foster real change in the mind and soul\nof all people.  It is up to the real patriots and followers of those\nthat traveled that great line of holy divine to help in the building of\nbetter community, state, nation and world!\n<\/blockquote>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/kvci.blogspot.com\/\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" style=\"float:right;border:none;\"   src=\"http:\/\/i2.ytimg.com\/vi\/aI1Ifl0eEnI\/default.jpg\"><\/a>\nGeorge has been blogging and speaking in local government meetings\nsince long before LAKE.\nHe is an inspiration to us all.\nI highly recommend his blog,\n<a href=\"http:\/\/kvci.blogspot.com\/\">\n88.
