Mr. and Mrs. Adams were fighting racism at a time when black slavery was an accepted way of life. It is disheartening that we are still fighting some of the same battles today. Separatism. Partisan politics. Hypocrisy in government. The goal of our founding fathers was to create a country governed by laws not men. I think we've gotten off track.”

A founding father that was brilliant beyond measure but fell to his need for acceptance of his brilliance. I find that Abagail is sometimes the rock of his life both public and private. I would love to know if she played a far greater role than we know.

“Underestimated, brilliant man.”
