Bikes: highly modified specialized crossroads and GT hybrid (really a [formerly] 12-speed bmx cruiser, made before 'hybrid' took on its current meaning), as yet unmodified redline 925, couple of other projects

Let's look at your past posts on all the threads and we'll see your track record.

still in Alabama

my words may have been a bit too harsh, but I really question your motives in asserting that he didn't have any problems because of the color of his skin.

it is an undeniable historical fact that marshall taylor's life - like that of most african-americans in the late 19th and early 20th centry - was negatively affected by racist whites from the day he was born until the day he died. regardless of what you think about the current state of race relations in this country (which I suspect we would disagree on too).
