True. I was born across the river in Huntington, WV. Most of the black population in the region lived in Huntington at the time. I think Ashland is still only about 2% black. Been a long time since I've been that way. Our 40-year high school reunion is scheduled for Oct 9-10 this year, but I already have plans to be in Baton Rouge to watch Kentucky and LSU play. (I miss the years when that was an annual game.)
