augusta is very light skinned.aid that they were more vicious, more evil, and more wicked to her because they thought she was white and that she was being a traitor to her race. but, you know, ms. augusta is not a traitor to any race. augusta thomas is a person that fights for every individual in this country. and she told me to end the story today that she believes in helping anybody who cannot help themselves at the time. and it does not matter whether a person is male or female, black or white, gay or straight, even a democrat or a republican. she said, if they need help, we should help them, we should stand by them. when i think of all of the things augusta thomas has done in her life, i will tell you brothers and sisters, join with augusta thomas, join with the dream of martin luther king, encourage someone to get an education, that needs to get a chance in this life, help us child, get the arts back in the school. first of all, go out and get someone to vote today and register them to vote and live the dream
