     The following nonfiction story chronicles the lives of Mr. & Mrs. Lyle Gittens, both of whom have lived to be over 100 years old (centenarians) and are on the precipice of celebrating 80 years of holy matrimony on June  4, 2022. The fascination derives from a profoundly important historical perspective intertwined with an amazing love story that has stood the test of time. The couple currently resides with their daughter Angela Gittens, who along with her cousin Johnyta Roundtree, contacted me about writing a story regarding this amazing couple. After reading the bio, I firmly believe that Dr. Gittens’ personal narrative is profoundly sufficient. You be the judge.

You Can’t Ban Me. I Can’t Ban Myself

     At this time in the justice system, no one knows the extent of the prosecutorial misconduct, because a large percent of attorneys break the law on a daily basis.  The system is set up for the lawyers to lie, and there are too many cases to worry about a few hundred. At this time, there are no reliable systems for holding prosecutors accountable for their misdeeds.

     It shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone in America and especially to Black people that ex-officer Kim Potter received a heartfelt sentencing for murdering Daunte Wright.
