4-.L is .ISYS V Michael Wayne Banks born July 6, I962 in San Diego California. Michael was the youngest of 5 children. Michael was a very good person in the mind, body, and soul. He was always willing to help someone. Mi- chael was very popular and had many friends. We real- ize the reality of death but accepting it is the hardest part. We must accept it as he would have wanted us to. Michael is in better hands now and he knows it, and he wants us to know it. Michael attended Knox Elementary, O'Farrel Jr. High. He also attended San Diego High School in the lOth grade and half of the Ilth grade. Then he transfered to Lincoln to get more recognition for playing football. Michael was a fine athlete and had been involved in football since elementary school. Michael left our surrounding at the age of I8. He lived a very fullfilling life. What ever he wanted to do he did it. Sometimes he needed a little help from his family, but he did enjoy the time he spent here. Michael was on his way to serve a friend, God touched him with his finger of love and said come on home Michael and Michael willfully obeyed on Satur- day, August 2, l98O, at 4:00 a.m. God decided Michael could serve in a better space. To these two people we say that you were two of the best people that Lincoln ever had. Lincoln loves both of you.

Dee Dee did a lot for Lincoln and we will miss her. t After her brief illness, the Lord called her home on May 3l, l98O. Dee Dee McSwain, Lincoln will miss you, but we know you are in good hands now. I have a color for the rest of my life. And I hope all the people will treat me right. Not because I'm Black, but because I'm me, And one day I hope to be free. Love me now or love me never. Let us unite and be together. So what if I'm Black at least l'm proud. I'm not ashamed to say my color out loud. Hear me, look at me. For I'm the Black person who will one day be free. By Mildred Dee Dee McSwain
