I hope they can get there. And I hope someone has some sense to set up a fund to try to help with the costs for them to get there, as an invite means nothing other than access to tickets. There are a lot of other barriers there.

Oh brilliant. And yes, they'll need a lot of helping out, but it's high time they got that sort of prominence.

This is fantastic. As my boss is very involved with the buffalo soldiers national museum here in houston, i passed this along to her too.

Not just the costs to get there, but also places to stay.

Now that's cool. I hope they can all attend.

Remember that extra $30m the Obama campaign had left over? I'm seeing a good use for some of it here, if that's permitted. Otherwise, if that fund does get set up, please do let us know about it.
