Hey Carlos has us on a new detail! Greetings GVRM Members!  We will meet this Saturday April 18, 2009 at Greenwood Missionary Baptist Church parking lot on Washington Avenue. It is our plan to walk the neighborhood to get resident signatures for the petition to the State Historic Preservation Office to have our neighborhood designated as a historic district.
 
Please wear your GVRM, Inc. T-Shirt for this activity. We will be paired in teams of two to three depending on the number of members that show up. Signature forms will be provided to your team and purpose paragraphs and membership brochures will be available to leave with each household you talk with.
 
If you have any questions, do not hesitate to call 552-1600.
 
Thanks for your continued support! let's make Greenwood the best!

Court was not pretty!  Over 100 pleaded guilty, another 79 in courts, we have the city complex for murder trials and the courthouse, one crack head shot a female crackhead over less that $4.00. He got 60 years! Wouldn't it be easy to just expel him from the planet? I know it's cheaper thanpaying for him for 60 years!!

The SmithGroup designed the Norrmandy American Cemetery Interpretive Center in France.


Although it has not yet been built, the African American History Museum has already collected artifacts and created traveling exhibitions. It plans on ultimately attracting an expected 2.5 million visitors per year. Planned exhibits include parts of a slave ship and a hut used as slave quarters, a Tennessee cablecar with segregated compartments and a "Tuskegee Airmen" plane that escorted US bombers over Europe during World War II.  Museum curator, Lonnie.
Bomber crews named the Tuskegee Airmen "Red-Tail Angels" after the red tail markings on their aircraft. Also known as "Black" or "Lonely Eagles," the German Luftwaffe called them Black Bird Men."

Former Tuskegee University professor dies.

Guys, I remember some of you carrying Koons car, that little foreign car and placing it on the T I entrance gate and running, the only white person that lived in our community.
