My family — two sons, Quinten and Jabari and wife of 21 years, LaTonya Brown — and I just moved from Madison, Wis. I am totally committed to education. Education is freedom. Education allows one to enjoy all of the wonderful things this resourceful country has to offer. Being educated has made it possible for me to become assistant superintendent of secondary education for such an innovative school district such as Columbia Public Schools.
