Yes, ma'am. Minda Logan: Good afternoon, Commissioners. Vice Chair Spence -Jones: Good afternoon. Ms. Logan: I'm Minda Logan, CEO (Chief Executive Officer) of the Black Archives. This is an exhibit that I think will really have resonance not only for the African American community, but many communities in Miami -Dade County. It's about peoples who go through the experience of migration, and that is a story that resonates, I think, with a lot of people in Miami -Dade, and the Schomburg Center is one of the fore -- is the foremost research center for African American history in the country, if not the world, and we hope to extend our collaboration with them and bring exhibits of this quality to Miami -Dade County and all the people here for their education and entertainment, we hope, so I appreciate any support you can give us with this exhibit. We will be seeking funding from the School Board, from corporate partners, and other people to make this a reality. Thank you. Chairman Winton: Any other discussion on supplemental item number 1?
