The 85-year-old Anniston resident was the subject of a recent documentary by filmmaker Stan Arthur.
In the film, "My Anniston: Edward Wood," he sits comfortably in his living room or visits various landmarks around Anniston, sharing memories and stories.
He speaks with humor and sorrow in equal measure, remembering growing up the son of a slave, life in the Jim Crow South, his military service and witnessing a mob of Ku Klux Klan members attack a Freedom Riders bus outside Anniston in 1961.
"I grew up with a lot of hate," he said. "But I've learned to let that go. There are some people I don't like, but hatred … that's something I'll never give into again — never."
Wood will be the guest speaker this morning at a breakfast at Camp Lee, hosted by the Anniston First United Methodist Church men's group.
"He's a special man with a great story to tell," said Lee London, who helped organize the event.
Wood grew up in a time when blacks and whites weren't allowed to use the same bathrooms or water fountains, or eat in the same restaurants.
He remembers when the largest hospital in the area had separate entrances.
"Even though you might be bleeding or dying, you had to find the colored entrance," he said. "If you went in the wrong one, the receptionist would yell at you like you were a snake."
After a lifetime spent amidst hatred, Wood no longer sees color, only hope for the future — assuming that future can learn from the mistakes of the past.
"I am very much concerned about our younger generation," he said. "I'm concerned about the lack of opportunities when I came along, versus the opportunities that exist now. Too many of our young people aren't taking advantage of it. I hope that something I say in this documentary will start someone to thinking."
Wood talked this week about growing up as a sharecropper's son, his involvement in the Civil Rights movement, and what it was like to witness the infamous bus burning.
(This interview contains language that some readers may find offensive.)
Obviously, life has changed a great deal for younger generations of African-Americans.
There wasn't a school for black people in the community where I grew up — not even a school building. They taught up to sixth grade in a church.
I walked four miles to attend, and when I finished sixth grade, there was nowhere else to go. The nearest high school was 28 miles away, and there was no busing for blacks.
Some of us went through the sixth grade two or three times because there was nowhere else to go.
I wasn't able to go to high school until after I moved to Anniston, got married and had three children.
Now there's a school within hollerin' distance to everybody, and too many of our young people won't attend. That really bothers me.
You grew up on a farm outside of Lineville. What was that like?
My daddy was born a slave. My granddaddy owned my grandmother, and he had two children by her. When my granddaddy died, my daddy and his sister inherited the farm, because there was nobody else.
By the time I came along, somebody else owned the farm and we were what was known as sharecroppers — 'course, we did a lot of cropping but very little sharing.
It was common back in those days that you worked and produced and the landlord took it.
He provided a house — if you could call it a house — and furnished you a little money. But when it came time to sell what we grew, it all managed to go to him.
What are some of your earliest memories?
I had an experience when I was about 12 years old. My daddy had died; we were living on the farm.
After my dad died, my second oldest brother, who was about 19, took over. When time came to settle, there was some strange stuff charged to our account.
The landlord and my brother had an argument over how much we owed, including charging us $30 for the pine box my father was buried in. My brother knew we'd already paid the landlord and had the receipt to prove it.
My brother got pretty loud, and the landlord's son came around asking what the matter was. The landlord had thrown down the receipt. His son picked it up and said, "Daddy that's your handwriting."
So the landlord threw down the money, the books, the receipt, everything, and told him, "You ain't nothin' but a nigger-lover. Take it and give it all to the nigger."
It was 28 miles from the little town of Lineville to where we lived. So the landlord got in his truck — left my brother to walk the 28 miles — and drove to our house.
The landlord called our mother a "black bitch" told her to get off his farm and take all the "little niggers" with her.
I grabbed him around the leg, and he kicked me several times in the head.
The landlord would prove to have a powerful impact on your life as an adult.
I went into the Navy. I was the youngest of four brothers, and they all went ahead of me: one in the Army, one in the Marine Corps and two in the Navy.
Just a few days before I went into the military, I went out hunting. The landlord was at my house. I was about 18 at the time. I got home and saw my mother was crying.
She said the landlord wanted to see me. He wanted to apologize, knowing he'd done me wrong (all those years before).
He'd already apologized to her, but he'd waited for me as long as he could but had to leave.
I said to my mother, "You let him in the house?" She said, "Yes." I said, "Well, if I'd been here, I'd have killed him." And I meant it.
She said, "Son, you've got to get that hate out of you … you've got to learn to love him."
I said, "I'll die and go to hell before I love that man."
"Well that's exactly where you're going if you don't get that hate out of you."
So I went into the military. Me and my brothers all got discharged within a few weeks of each other. I hadn't even taken off my uniform when my oldest brother, who had just bought a new car, insisted on taking me for a ride.
He took me straight to the landlord's house — only he didn't have his own house. He was living with his son-in-law, who ran a little store on the side of the road.
When we got there, the old landlord was sitting in the shade out by the shed. We drove up. He didn't recognize me. My brother told him who I was.
He stood up and said, "Boy, I'm glad God let me live long enough to see you before I die. I wanted to tell you how sorry I am for the way I treated you.
"I was wrong and I want you to forgive me. God has dealt with me. I've lost my farms, I've lost my wife, spent all my money, don't have my home, don't have any place to sleep, and I want you to forgive me."
We hugged each other's necks and cried.
I let out a lot of hate on that day, and I'll never ever stoop to that level again.
What was life like after you returned from serving in the military?
I was naïve enough to think that once we'd won the war and saw a lot of the world that things would be different when we got back home. But I soon found out different.
Even the bus I rode home on had vacant seats, but I still had to stand up.
Here I am back home with a uniform on, having fought for my country, and I can't even sit down on a bus because the vacant seats were in front of the white line.
How did you get involved in the Civil Rights movement?
When I came to Anniston, I met a dentist, fellow by the name of Gordon Rogers, and we became very good friends. We organized ourselves into the Anniston Progressive Club.
Our primary interest was to get black people registered to vote. There were some places in Calhoun County where that was near impossible.
It wasn't that bad in Anniston, but it was hard enough. We spent a lot of time knocking on doors, and we were fairly successful.
When (Martin Luther) King and the SCLC came along, I joined immediately.
I was one of the first blacks to sit at a lunch counter in Anniston; was one of the first to sit on the front seat of a bus in Anniston.
I feel pretty good about that. I'm not bragging, but it's a fact of life.
You were one of the few local people to witness the Anniston bus burning in 1961. How did that happen?
Everybody knew that the Freedom bus was coming through.
It was Mother's Day, and I was going to take my wife out to dinner.
They had a problem with the bus at the bus station, where some of the riders were beaten real bad and the tires on the bus were cut.
We were aware of this, but we thought the bus was gone. So we deliberately waited until later in the afternoon to go out.
I was driving my wife to this place called Riverside that served the best catfish. We couldn't go in the restaurant; they had a wood fence separating the white side from the black, but it had picnic tables. You could buy the fish and eat in the car or sit at one of the tables, and you couldn't see the people on the other side of the fence.
So we were going to dinner when I pulled up right behind the bus out on Highway 202. The bus had slowed down and eventually stopped right in front of me as the smoke started pouring out.
I jumped out and thought maybe I could help. There were about five or six loads of Klansman right there and they made me — they didn't hit me — but made me get away from there.
So I got back in my car and drove down a few blocks …. By the time I got back, the bus had already burned. There was nothing left but the frame, and people were laying all alongside the highway, bleeding and screaming … all a matter of few minutes.
What's it been like for you to revisit all of these memories, by making the movie and now by speaking to various groups?
I'd sort of put it in the back of my mind and moved on, enjoying my life.
It's sort of sad looking back. It brings it all back again, but I'm determined to do whatever I can to change the situation. I want to do that by telling my story.
I don't see black or white people anymore. I only see people. I don't care what color they are.

When it comes to Anniston Middle School, the what-if game is like playing tic-tac-toe. It's easy — if done correctly — and the result always is the same. No one wins.
Nevertheless, let's play.
• What if the City Council had approved a 1-cent sales tax increase in 1982 and adopted the Board of Education's plan for two middle schools (neither of which would have been on Alabama 21 adjacent to Fort McClellan)?
• What if local decision-makers and residents had embraced a Calhoun County Chamber of Commerce recommendation for the consolidation of the Anniston and county public school systems?
• What if the Calhoun County Board of Education, on the same day Anniston's City Council vetoed the 1-cent sales-tax increase in 1982, hadn't unanimously passed a resolution stating its strong opposition to a merger?
• What if former Board of Education Superintendent J.V. Sailors had not selected the site on Alabama 21 for the middle school in the mid-1980s?
• What if the Board of Education and the City Council, in 1997, had run with the advice of a state Board of Education consultant and closed Anniston High School, made the middle school the high school and reconfigured the entire system and central office location?
• What if construction estimates for new classrooms had not come in more than $400,000 over budget in 2000? Would the Board of Education had stuck with its plan to close the middle school?
• What if the previous school board had approved the recommendations of Superintendent Joan Frazier, which included closing the middle school?
As you can see, a lengthy procession of movers and shakers in Anniston has had opportunities to address the city's ailment of having too many facilities for too few students and a middle school in an undesirable location.
This dearth of decision-making is endemic of a city that has struggled producing the intestinal fortitude needed to adopt difficult-yet-imperative positions. When it comes to Anniston's schools, that must change — now.

Laura's Corner
I work very hard and am attending college to obtain my degree in the Human Service field. Writing makes me feel alive and gives me the opportunity to touch those whom I would not be able to otherwise. Last but not least, I have been blessed with two amazing daughters who love me completely and support my dreams. Feel free to contact me with questions, concerns or feedback.
Unions, Non-Unions, let's battle, oh my!
If you follow my blogs on a regular basis, you probably know my topics of conversation. I have covered sex, race, religion and other topics many say yet never out loud.
There are two subjects I have yet to cover; sports and politics. It's not because I don't enjoy them, I just really don't pay attention until something really big happens. Actually, the only reason I enjoy sports is because I can go to the game wearing my most scantily clad outfit. Talk about good clean fun!!
Better Business...
Once in a while, I cover a topic regarding businesses and such. If you read my previous blog, you will understand that I have been through the ringer and back regarding income. I am the Queen of finding the best deals. I refuse to spend excessive amounts of money regarding labels knowing that next season I can get the same item for usually 1/4 of what someone else paid.
Since I have done my research and have a little bit of knowledge in most areas of life, I am able to lower the price on almost anything. When striking the best deal, the #1 route would be to go to a private seller. With cash in hand, a bit of humility and a personal touch will create a home run situation for both.
I Sustain You!
What is your definition of love? According to the dictionary, it is defined as; a strong affection for another arising out of kinship or personal ties, attraction based on sexual desire, warm attachment, enthusiasm or devotion, unselfish loyal and benevolent concern for the good of another, among many others. One could say this happens after a few cold ones or a night on the town. Sad, yet true.
Double Edged Sword
Stereotypes regarding men and women in the sexual world have existed since the beginning of time. You may recall a few biblical stories. One refers to the woman at the well. It said she had lived a "bad" life, had been married to several men and now lived with a man who was not her husband. The other is the story of the adulterous woman dragged into the temple by the scribes and the Pharisees. The law during that time was to stone "such women".
Let this sink in. Nothing, and I mean absolutely nothing, is brought to light regarding the men these women chose. If that doesn't wake you up faster than a double shot of espresso, little else will.
Where's your daddy??
Present or not, fathers are a vital part of every child's life. When dad fails to parent, mom must step up to the plate to put in her 150% to ensure that child does not fall to the wayside.
We are not guaranteed that our children will turn out to be "practically perfect in every way". The bible does not include the word fair at all.

Lane Kiffin and the folks associated with the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game in Atlanta recently tried to line up a Southern Cal versus Tennessee matchup for next year's season-opener.
Not surprisingly, Tennessee declined.
UT athletic director Mike Hamilton told ESPN, "We told (USC) we could play 'em in a few years but we can't make it work with our schedule next year."
Hamilton said Gary Stokan — the Chick-fil-A Bowl and Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game president — initially contacted him, but added that Kiffin had sent him "some text messages about the proposal."
I bet he did. No one knows the devastated state of the Tennessee football program better than Kiffin. He knows exactly what the Volunteers have — and don't have — on their roster these days.
While some Vol fans would surely love to get a shot at Kiffin, next year might be just a tad too soon into Derek Dooley's rebuilding project. Also, UT plays Cincinnati and North Carolina as non-conference games in 2011. Adding USC (and eight SEC foes) would make for one beast of a schedule.
So why would Kiffin want to take on the Vols? If you put yourself in his shoes, you'd probably think that you did nothing wrong in recent months:
1. Kiffin took his dream job and would not have left Tennessee for any other gig (or so he says).
2. Kiffin put UT back on the media map during his one brief year in Knoxville (as if they'd fallen totally out of the national spotlight).
3. There was nothing wrong with Kiffin's staff talking to his old UT recruits when they asked for advice in the immediate aftermath of his departure from Knoxville.
4. Meanwhile, UT fans threatened Kiffin's wife and family.
5. And now Dooley and staff are trying to raid a Trojan roster opened up by NCAA sanctions.
If you believe all that — and Kiffin probably does — then you, too, might want a crack at your old school. "Why, I'll show them!"
But as I've said a thousand times now, it's probably best for both parties if Kiffin and Tennessee simply go their separate ways for a while.
Hamilton made the wise call on this one. UT can't afford risking a Dooley loss to Kiffin on national television. Not yet anyway.

Swansea beats Fulham 2-1 in Premier League
LONDON (AP) -Swansea capitalized on mistakes by backup goalkeeper David Stockdale to beat struggling Fulham 2-1 Saturday in the Premier League.
Stockdale was making his first top-flight appearance for 11 months in place of the injured Mark Schwarzer and was partly at fault for both goals - by Danny Graham in the 19th minute and Jonathan de Guzman in the 52nd.
Fulham pulled a goal back when Bryan Ruiz's shot went in off an offside Sascha Riether, but still slipped to a defeat which leaves them four points above the drop zone.
The first goal came after Stockdale pushed a cross straight back into danger, and Graham hooked the ball back into the net.
Stockdale then cleared the ball straight against Brede Hangeland and it rebounded for Pablo Hernandez to square for De Guzman to sidefoot home.

Warning on Labour energy price plan
7:41am Monday 9th December 2013 in National News © Press Association 2014
Ed Miliband's plans for a freeze on energy prices have been criticised by the head of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development
Labour leader Ed Miliband's plans for a 20-month freeze on energy prices have been sharply criticised by the head of an international economic watchdog.
Angel Gurria, secretary-general of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, said the freeze - which Labour has said it will implement if the party wins the next general election - would simply drive away investors.
"If you freeze the price of energy and the international prices of energy rise, it means there is going to be a very big difference to pay," he told BBC One's Panorama programme.
"Who's going to be paying the difference? Are you going to ask the investors to take the difference when they'll probably go bankrupt? How are you going to get people to come in and invest to get their money back in 30 or 40 years' time when you are saying there is going to be a freeze?
"I think this is not consistent, not economically objective."
His comments are a blow to Labour, which has used the promise of a temporary price freeze - announced by Mr Miliband at Labour's annual party conference in September - to put pressure on the Coalition over rising household energy bills.

"List price" is the suggested retail price provided to us by our vendors. We make no representation that a substantial number of these products have been sold or offered for sale at the list price. Actual retail prices in your area may be substantially different. Since we sell products on a national basis, it is not possible to know if our merchandise is sold at list price in any particular location or at any particular time. "You Save" reflects the difference between our price and the vendor provided list price shown on our sites. Since the list price may be different than the actual retail prices in your area, you may not actually realize a savings of this amount.
Manufacturers sometimes ask that retailers not display a price if it drops below a certain amount. The "Click here to see Lowest Price" message indicates that the price of the item is so low that the manufacturer requested that it not be advertised (that is, displayed). In a brick-and-mortar store, you would probably have to ask a salesperson what the price of the product is. At eCOST, by clicking on "Click here to see Lowest Price" you are essentially asking to see the price, at which point we show it to you.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Tennessee Titans center Eugene Amano will miss the 2012 season with a torn triceps muscle in his right arm.
Amano started at center the past two seasons for the Titans. He was injured in Thursday night's practice when hit by a helmet while blocking on a pass attempt. He will have surgery next week.
Amano was competing for his starting spot with Kevin Matthews and Fernando Velasco, who had been getting work at right guard. Now it'll be Velasco or Matthews who will open the season at center. Matthews, though, has been out since Thursday with a concussion.
Leroy Harris moves into the starter's role at right guard.

Mr. Grant's letter regarding the Livery was really just a feeble assault on Mr. Odom by a disgruntled former subcontractor. Let me elaborate on where this venom originates. Not all of you may know this, but Mr. Grant worked with Curtis Odom for four years and claimed to be his friend until the end of last year. Unfortunately, Mr. Grant made the HUGE mistake of presenting Mr. Odom with the ultimatum in that he was increasing his billable rate 25 percent.
The reality is he succumbed to greed and lost the best job he will probably ever have. Speaking from personal experience and I am sure those of you in the community who have worked for Mr. Odom will agree, Mr. Grant will never find anyone as generous to work for again.
Perhaps Mr. Grant has never come to understand the concept of capitalism and what makes our country so great. He certainly has the reward aspects down; problem is someone else has to assume the risk. Ultimately only he can answer that question but I wanted to let everyone know the origins of his letter.
Semper Fi,

Ultimate Fight Night PredictionsFighters seem to try harder when they are on national TV. Perhaps they are striving for their chance on the big show, and figure that once they are fighting on a pay-per-view they can relax and stall their way to wine and roses, or perhaps the octagon floor for the Ultimate Fight Nights is covered in a thin wire mesh which can be electrified whenever the fighters fail to entertain; producing a non-lethal but highly motivational force which lingers in their minds like the always-present threat of punishment from an abusive high-school Physical Education coach. Either way, it is difficult to turn down such wonderful entertainment, especially when it is free.
Rashad Evans vs. Sean Salmon
Evans is like your hug-happy grandma. Its almost impossible to escape his grasp once his arms get around you. The difference, of course, is that instead of giving you cookies and watered-down kool-aid, he slams you onto your dome, punches you in the face and smothers all your attempts to get up or submit him. Salmon is swimming upstream here and while I wont call him a tomato can, I will point out that canned salmon is usually in the same aisle as canned tomatoes at the grocery store. Zuffa knows this, and knows the likely result of this fight. Salmon will get smoked and Rashad will look good for the TV audience, all of whom will pay big bucks to see him fight for the belt sometime in 2007.
Jake Irish OBrian vs. Heath Texas Crazy Horse Herring
I dont know why Heath Herrings nickname is the Texas Crazy Horse since a herring is a fish. Wait; it might be a bird. No, that is a heron. Texas Crazy Fish doesnt sound right but, then again, he is Crazy so Im not going to tell him what he can call himself, although Violent Homophobe springs to mind since his most famous achievement has been KOing a Japanese guy for kissing him on the lips during a pre-fight stare-down. It took half of the security staff, and Richard Gere (The Horse Whisperer) to calm down the Texas Crazy Horse who flew into a thou-dost-prostest-too-much-style rage, denying all queerness, while a shocked audience watched in wide-eyed amazement. Will he win this time? Yes. All of OBrians lucky charms wont be able to help him. Herring by TKO.
Hermes Franca vs. Spencer King Fisher
Spencer Fisher has popularized flying knees in the same way those Hydrocelaphic little red-cheeked Campbells kids popularized soup. Anytime anyone uses one to knock out their opponent, Fisher should get ten cents in commission. Franca is my new personal hero after beating Jamie The Worm Varner who alternated between holding onto him and running away. However I see a knee in his future possibly during a failed takedown attempt. Fisher might get a TKO, but will more likely win by decision.
Dean Lister vs. Nate Marquardt
These guys faced off at the last Abu Dhabi World Submission Wrestling Championships and it didnt take long for Lister to put Marquardt in a Bolivian Liver Hug, which is very difficult to pull off on a sweaty opponent. Actually, I think it was a knee bar. My point, however, is that MMA and submission grappling are quite different; akin to comparing a game of chess to another game of chess where the rules allow striking. Also, Lister cuts roughly fifty pounds to make 185lbs, which leaves him weak like a baby with asthma and a two-pack a day smoking habit. My guess: Marquardt by decision.
Chad The Grinder Reiner vs. Josh The Peoples Warrior Burkman
Normally, whenever Zuffa brings in a new guy to face one of their established fighters, hes a sacrificial lamb with narcolepsy and a record of 2-10, with the two wins both being victories over someone whose record is 0-20. The Grinder, however, might be more of a challenge, with a record of 13-1. Burkman is 7-3, so even a remedial math student can see whos got more cage experience. Nevertheless, I think Burkman will win a decision.
Ed Short Fuse Herman vs. Chris The Exorcist Price
When will the UFC finally give the fans the fight they really want to see? Ed Herman vs. Chris Leben would be a fight for the record books. It would look like two long-lost twins meeting in a trailer park and immediately fighting each other for the same reason budgies attack their reflections. Hopefully Leben will win here, and advance to face his nemesis. My guess: The Exorcist catches a looping punch on the jaw that spins his head around. Leben by TKO.
Clay The Carpenter Guida vs. Din Thomas
I took carpentry classes for three years in high school, and I dont know why, because I hated it. Mostly, I hated it because the teacher was a brainless ogre who seemed to find enormous pleasure in telling you about the horrible disfiguring accidents that hed been witness to around the shop as a result of students not being careful around the various saws and drills. Then, curiously, he would grade you on how quickly you could build a birdhouse. The result? Students racing around the shop with razor sharp chisels in their hands, pushing wood through giant saws at twice the speed they should - hoping against hope to leave with their thumbs still attached. Thomas by decision.
Ross Pointon vs. Rich No Love Clementi
No Love has had No Success lately in the octagon. Shonie Carter out-pimped him in the first fight of TUF4, and Din Thomas swatted his head around like a cat with a ball of string. Fortunately, Pointon fights like a drunken soccer hooligan and will come straight at him, swinging wildly. My guess? Clementi will have No Problem winning this one.

Ordained Ministry
There are just two categories of Ordained ministry so far as the national selection process is concerned: that of priest and of deacon. However, the word 'focus' has been introduced to express the ways the national church has determined that ordained ministry may be expressed.
We set out on the following pages the focus of the different ministries which the church has authorised. Whatever the focus of ministry, there is one set of criteria which the basis of selection for is ordained ministry.
Since NSM refers only to financial support for ministry it is not itself a focus of ministry although it will continue to need to be used to distinguish those in parochial ministry or chaplaincy from those in the church's full time paid employment.

Marten-Description of Track
Marten-Description of Track-What does a marten track look like?
The marten goes by jumps like the mink and makes somewhat similar tracks, but large and farther apart. There are two imprints close together, one ahead and to one side of the other. The individual tracks are each about 1 1/2 inch long by 1 inch wide. The feed of the marten are heavily furred, therefore it does not show the toes separately like the mink, but in damp, packed snow, the heel pad and the ball of each toe will make clean imprints. Occasionally the marten walks like a skunk, when going under a log or bunch of brush, or when approaching a trap.
