What a cherished conversation between Mr. Tidwell and his beautiful granddaughter. Powerful words and ideals passed to the next generation!
"Freedom is not free." What a powerful message to convey to younger generations. Love the interaction between Mr. Tidwell and Parker.
Very interesting. He said "Freedom is not free" - what a powerful statement. It was also very interesting to hear Mr. Tidwell mention the Emancipation Proclamation made by President Lincoln during the Civil War. I just watched the PBS documentary last week (again) about the Civil War - very important time in our country's history and the fight for freedom continues to this day.
Mr. Tidwell has been a fortunate man to have seen and heard the late Dr. Martin Luther King. One positive experience can influence a nation. Thus I am left to think about what legacy I will leave.
It was very inspiring to hear Mr. Tidwell recount his experiences as well as his definition of what freedom means to him. His grand-daughter, Parker had great questions is lucky to have him as her grandfather!
