And some people help create the tide--- and improve the course of human development. Lee Fryer, Author of Song of America is such a person.

Helping to create and build a viable insurance-based health and dental service. Helping to build and develop the migratory labor camps and farm employment services. Helping to design and manage the Japanese evacuation services in World War II. Helping to reduce and cope with racism in the Farmer’s Home Administration, and yes, Lee has a successful multi-racial family life.
