| Mark Twain didn't last very long on the Atlantic City Boardwalk. He created a huge controversy when he was installed and after just a few weeks he was removed from the boardwalk. I have always been a Mark Twain fan because of his honesty and his integrity. I read all his books when I was growing up and got to know even more about him when I did some research for this project. He was a true humanitarian and in his day that took a lot of guts. I was truly mystified when he was called a racist by some people in Atlantic City. It stirred up so much controversy that he had to be removed. The local story grew into a national and international story. One of the things that I am very pleased about is that because of the controversy a lot more people got to know him better and in so doing their quality of thinking was effected in a positive way. Good for you Mark! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
