I was inspired to write the song the "BAOT PRAYER" from listening to Lt. Col. Floyd Carter's story in the Aircore Air Force.

JOSEPH McNEIL

One of the original four taking part in the Woolworth sit-ins. A Wilmington native, he graduated from Williston Senior High School. Soon after high school, his parents moved the family to New York, where he was able to experience a much more open society. Joe came to NC A&T on full scholarship, and found it hard to live in the segregated South. His roommate at Scott Hall on the A&T campus was another sit-in participant, Ezell Blair Jr. Joe's breaking point came after Christmas vacation, when he returned by bus from New York, and was not served a hot dog at the Greensboro Greyhound terminal. McNeil earned a degree in engineering physics from North Carolina A&T State University in 1963. Thirty minutes after graduating, Joe McNeil was commissioned by the U. S. Air Force and spent six years as an officer and attained the rank of captain. He recently retired from Air Force Reserves, having achieved the rank of Major General. During his tenure in the Air Force, he started a series of diversity programs, which profoundly changed the culture of that institution. He worked in computer sales for IBM, as a commercial banker for Bankers Trust in New York City, and as a stock broker for E.F. Hutton in Fayetteville. He now resides in Hempstead, N.Y. He is married to the former Ina Brown, and they have five children.

Lena Horne, the esteemed jazz vocalist and civil rights pioneer who died earlier this week at the age of 92, was honored by a resolution passed by the U.S. Senate this afternoon (May 14), just as Horne's friends and admirers paid her tribute at a New York memorial service.

The resolution, introduced by U.S. Senator Kristen Gillibrand (D-NY) and passed unanimously by the entire Senate, recognized Horne's lifelong efforts as an actress, singer and civil rights activist. Introducing the measure, Senator Gillibrand said, "Lena Horne's legendary voice and her lifelong dedication to fighting inequality will continue to inspire future generations of Americans. While we join together to mourn the loss of an American treasure and icon, we also celebrate Lena Horne's incredible life and legacy. I offer my condolences to her family and friends."
