It's not everything but it helped to think how even an apology was unthinkable back in the time of slavery. And I love your chair.

I sincerely thank you for educating me. <br /><br />Congrats on the chair! You did a beautiful job. :-) And, even though I've only "known" you a short while, that fabric suits you well.
