18. My college, my home town

Thu Sep 29, 2016, 09:00 AM

Sep 2016

I haven't lived there for nearly 40 years, but it will always be the place of my birth and raising. Once proud to be from East Tennessee, not so much today. Tennessee has changed and not in a good way. The President of ETSU should b commended, along with the security personnel. The young protesters continued their peaceful protest and demonstrated dignity in the face of stark ugliness.
