I want to send out a shout of love and thanks to the Minnesota State Baptist Convention, Bishop Howell, Rev. Jerry McAfee and Alfred Flowers for covering the cost of the headstone for Jamar Clark. I took the final payment over for them on January 27.
No matter which side you fall on, one thing we all know is there is no greater loss than that of a child. We are a strong community and will stand together at the end.
