On behalf of the Lubbock Roots Historical Arts Council, I want to thank the City Council, Texas Tech, Innocence Project and others who contributed to the community reception coordinated by Roots in honor of Timothy Cole and family.
There were inspiring words and performances, such as an excellent dramatic reading by Ashton Alexande from an excerpt of a book about Cole and a powerful performance by a mime group.
Music by Jazz Alley was a wonderful backdrop as we took the opportunity to appreciate our blessings and freedom.
