Long Drives To Nowhere

by JHSEsq on April 17, 2007

It’s a good thing we’re not all des­tined to repeat the mis­takes of our fathers,” Tam­mie Jean writes today’s Post of the Day winner.

From a site called Long Rides to Nowhere comes the heart­felt apol­ogy of an inno­cent five-year-old caught smack dab in the mid­dle of racism — and too young to under­stand. Her award-winning post, We Should Have Been Friends is a must-read.

It is not a story we’ll not soon for­get. We hope you don’t, either.

Con­grat­u­la­tions, Tam­mie Jean.

Hi Judd! Thank you so much for rec­og­niz­ing one of my favorite posts. It’s one that makes me sad, yet hope­ful that things do in fact change.
I love the idea of this blog, too. Some­times I won­der if I’m miss­ing out on a good blog because the lat­est post didn’t nec­es­sar­ily draw me in. I think I’ll really enjoy this roadmap to great posts and find some great blogs in the process…

this the exact same post that earned Tam­mie Jean a spot on my VIP list.

Great choice Judd.

That was a very poignant story told by Tam­mie Jean, and very well written.

You need a but­ton on your blog to an email where peo­ple can nom­i­nate posts…

I have a few I would love to nom­i­nate, but I think pri­vately is better.

here is one of mine I would nom­i­nate– (since I know who I am already)
