Reflecting on lessons learned

So about 5 years ago, I was doing research on the origins of the Back To Africa Movement, as one does and I discovered something interesting.  I Googled something like “Marcus Garvey predecessors” or something like that and several names came up, one that caught my eye, Paul Cuffe.  

And it reminded me of a book report that I wrote back in 5^th grade (or something like that).  I was at Harford Heights Elementary School for 4^th and 5^th Grade and 6^th at Roland Park Middle.  I wonder 1) what I wrote about the book I read, or what grade I got on the book report (I assume I got a good grade). 

I’m also curious how 10-year-old Marc first learned about Paul Cuffe. I know it was my mother that found the book or already knew about him and shared the book/knowledge with me.  

As you may already know, and have heard this, my father was an immigrant from Cabo Verde.   Growing up I always knew that Africa was more than a concept, it was more than an idea; it was/is 54 countries, each with a distinct language and culture and food and traditions, etc…. And Cabo Verde is one of those countries.  

So when I/We started thinking about moving/leaving the idea of where to go wasn’t really a discussion.  

So at 51, I am still learning lessons from my parents.  Which is a good thing.    

Question: Who is this and where was this taken?
