Today is the Unofficial George W. Gibbs, Jr. Day
This is an addition to what I posted this morning. My friend Angela Saunders, on Facebook, posted the perfect story on the this unofficial George W. Gibbs Day! It's about an interview and relationship between an African American writer/speaker and the Klu Klux Klan. Definitely worth the 20 minutes to listen.

George Gibbs was born on November 7th election day and died on November 7th election day. He was going to be named Charles Evans Hughes, after the Republican candidate. When Hughes lost the election, his father named him George Washington Gibbs, Jr. Both he and his father were quite political. On the evening of November 7th, George died watching the election results, thinking his candidate, Al Gore, won.
