    The owner and Civil Rights activist Annie Pearl Avery could covered a lot of information in regards to Black History. Movies, statues, flags and even mannequins told the story of our past. She even knew my Great Uncle James Hunter ARMSTRONG. She called him the Flag Man. Because he was the one that carried the American flag across Pettis Bridge on Bloody Sunday.
