In the early evening of November 19th 2019, 6th grader Ka'Nyah Knight went missing. No Amber Alert, nor major news station coverage. Just plain old local Police, yet Willingboro's finest men in blue letting the village know one of their children went missing.

I believe the ancestors would have been tickled pink to see us Black Folks, being treated like royalty, with elaborate table settings, and scrumptious fixings of cornbread, fish and collard greens.
