The fact that the National Football League (NFL) recently announced they had terminated ties to the Punt, Pass, and Kick (PPK) competition didn't slow the Malta Athletic Club or 84 children from Phillips County from participating in the event in Malta last Tuesday night.

I think we could all learn something from kids. I don’t claim to represent all of African Americans but a couple of weeks ago I had the chance to share what I thought about current events at a local high school. The opportunity came thanks in part to a responsive column I wrote about confederate monuments about a month or so ago. The kids and teacher of that class were interested in why I wrote what I wrote and also presented me with several other questions. When I first received an email statin...
