Mr. Lee Virgil Patterson Sr., born to Charley and Mary Patterson on November 15, 1926, in Okmulgee, Oklahoma, experienced unfortunate circumstances in a family of thirteen children. Despite the obstacles, the children grew up in the State Home of Negro Deaf, Blind and Orphans, known simply as the DB&O in Taft, Oklahoma. Patterson and his brother Alfred believed in an education, therefore; they moved to Tulsa to attend school. They supported themselves as tailors. He graduated high school and went to college on a football scholarship at Shaw University in North Carolina. He missed being at home, so he transferred to Langston University. He suffered an injury which ended his athletic career at Langston University. However, he rebounded with a job as a student coach, and graduated with a B.S. degree in Industrial Arts. When duty called in 1951, he honored his country by serving in the U.S. Army during the Korean War.

Read moreYou can’t read a newspaper or watch a news source without seeing our children being ‘groomed’ into confused and dysphoric kids – mutilated by ‘medical professionals’. Such activity should be criminal, but the Left’s objectives are in play and they will not be derailed. There is apparently power in numbers.
