Leonard C. Garrett Sr. was born May 17, 1930 to parents
sharecropping a 40 acres slave plot given his mother's parents when
they were freed from slavery. Forced from the farm by the Ku Klux
Klan, his parents fled to Tampa, Florida. An avid reader, He
learned that outside the southern states, for those with Hope,
America offered Opportunity, and through Shared Sacrifice, a better
America for the Generation that follows. He quit high school and
joined the air force, moved his parents out of the projects, and
set out to achieve his American dream. Retiring from the air force
he joined a major bank as a junior executive and at age fifty-four,
had achieved an American dream never believed possible. The
Election of 1980 had Unleashed the Wealthy, Greedy, Corrupt, and
the politically Powerful from the "Bonds of Shared Sacrifice" and;
empowered conservative ideology driven southern states to roll-back
Supreme Court decisions and Laws guaranteeing civil rights of black
and Latino Americans. He was harvested, convicted, and sentenced to
prison for crimes "fabricated" by the US attorney, covered up by a
"Fraudulent Judgment" on appeal, "denied access" to the Court to
seek redress, and was held falsely imprisoned for 10 years all;
"covered-up" by a corrupt conservative criminal justice system.
Today at age 81, Garrett is among the millions of Americans driving
past "gated communities" into cities with closed factories,
boarded-up homes, and neighborhoods of unemployed, elderly, and
less-advantaged Americans suffering the question, "what happened to
the American that "We"" sacrificed so much to make great?'"
