Am listening to your 9/15 podcast and am enjoying. Your voice is very pleasant to listen to. Thanks. Suggestion regarding the site: Larger type would be lovely. Older folks such as myself have a hard time with tiny print and I'm pretty sure that I'm in the minority (in my age bracket) when it comes to knowing how increase the type on a web page. Thanks.

You would have been so proud of them at their student performance. The ladies began explaining the origin of OAAU, an international organization founded by Malcolm X in 1964.
