Four Africans: Me. dad and our Mesopotamian ancestors - Sargon (first empire) and Ashur Uballit, .Family photo album These are some family pictures. I am not as handsome as either my dad or our ancestors from Mesopotamia, but I’m proud to be in the family.

Dad (1921 AD - 2002 AD) hosted Nelson Mandela when he came to Philadelphia. And it was in dad’s church (the Episcopal Church of the Advocate of Philadelphia, PA, where the first women in the Anglican Church were ordained. And from them came the first female bishop the Episcopal Church had in its history - Barbara Harris, a black woman. Aside from that, he was a great dad. And then there’s me. .art, art history, Paul Marc Washington, paleoneolithic@yahoo.com
