mr. barry mcneely will be your for discussion tonight. mr. mcneely is a graduate of miles college. one of the things i'm sure he's more proud of his being a graduate of the institution in which is an educator. it is this country's oldest and at one point the largest high school in the world. mr. mcneely served here is education assistant as well as outreach programs which is what i do now. he didn't want me to read his bio. he told me that you know me, so just talk about me. mr. mcneely -- i guess the best way to describe and as an encyclopedia of history here in birmingham. i can think of no other person to lead this discussion. also the program coordinator with the program in which we are proud of here at the birmingham civil rights institute and a program we treat given on how to represent institution inside the stores but outside the stores. without further ado, i would like to turn the program over to mr. barry mcneely. [applause] >> thank you, sam. i asked them not to read off my bio because you have a long bio when you get off. so with that, just keep it brief. this evening
