A little give and take from both sides … without constant finger-pointing.When Jimmy Carter was president, he had a Democratic House and a Democratic Senate. Yet the country was often at a stalemate in both domestic and foreign issues. What from the hostage taking in Iran to the oil embargo which almost stalled America’s economy.Fast forward to the Reagan administration.

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — The symbolism of the moment and the task ahead of him is not lost on Earl Gary.“I think it’s very unique, the odds of me getting in a position like this,” Gary said. “I’m really grateful to be given this opportunity to perform with all of the history that comes with it.”Gary’s YME Landscape, a Black-owned Richmond company, has been chosen to revitalize the circle on Monument and North Allen avenues where the Robert E. Lee statue once stood. His company’s involvement in the project marks another symbol in the lessening of the city’s Confederate presence with a Black crew working to reimagine the space once inhabited by the general.The controversial bronze statue was taken down in 2021, after activists called for its removal in the wake of George Floyd’s murder.
