Key: FDHS - Frederick Douglass High School
On Saturday, August 17th 2019, I step back into time and walked from the H.E. Holmes MARTA Station to the High School that I became a graduate about 30 years ago in my modern day village of Collier Heights located in Atlanta, Georgia USA.
Amazed of how a 'No Windows' Institution had transformed into the appearance of a small college 'With Windows' today, I was impressed with Frederick Douglass High School (FDHS).
Still even more impressing was when I entered the Dr. Lester W. Butts Auditorium for the first time to experience ' TEDX Collier Heights '.
It was a honor to see the Director of the Atlanta Preservation Center serving Guests in the lobby along with a diverse group of educated individuals awaiting to enter the Auditorium.
At first glance, when I heard of the length of the program, I realized that I could not stay. However, prior to leaving, Odie Donald (FDHS Alumni) - Manager of ' City of South Fulton ' , Dr. Nicole Garner - Financial Consultant, Dr, taj anwar baoll - Medical Professional, and Zak Wallace - Songwriter & Restaurant Owner greatly lifted my spirits.
I was enthralled, flabbergasted and motivated as I left early. I encountered Ann Hill-Bond - Curator in my attempt to sneak out and gave her a hug while saying, ' Outstanding Ann '.
Having not the opportunity to see the completion of the event, I believe it was successful in showing proof that ' Atlanta Influences Everything '.
Well, these are our thoughts, what say you?
