This barbershop being dedicated to a black American soldier also represents something very positive for the community. And I believe in the flag, even if the country doesn't live up to it.

Never for a moment believe that the great body of the citizens of any State or States can deliberately intend to do wrong. They may, under the influence of temporary excitement or misguided opinions, commit mistakes; they may be misled for a time by the suggestions of self-interest; but in a community so enlightened and patriotic as the people of the United States argument will soon make them sensible of their errors, and when convinced they will be ready to repair them.

We wanted to be aggressive and physical on defense. We were very sharp.
Both Anne and her art are really interesting. She has one of those personalities that jumps in your face and you instantly like her. She led us to her painting: an original of three little birds with swollen eyes, and their tears were putting out a forest fire. I bought it immediately.
Oh, yeah. This is a very nice honor to be able to come here. Just the connection ... 150 years of senators ... this place has the original feel to it. It's not your everyday or your year-to-year. It's the state recognizing us. I don't think we could ever have imagined this.
