Although his stories are a bit more serious, there's still filled plenty of laugh-out-loud moments. ]]> 2018-10-17 10:43:27 UTC https://padlet.com/dpotter8/2kdh9oh8dld7/wish/293762865 dpotter8 https://padlet.com/dpotter8/2kdh9oh8dld7/wish/293763141 This Black Lives Matter story lived up to all the hype.
