Skip

Nehemiah Curtis James was born today, June 21st. 107 years ago. Thanks for doing what you did, brother. My parents affectionately called him "Skip". Skip was actually the first African American man to ride one of these:
Skip is celebrating Father's day and his birthday, so when you tell your father you love him, also tell him "Happy Skip's birthday day". Also, everything about Skip other than his birthday is not true, he is actually this guy. My parents don't know him and after some research I am still not sure who the first African American to ride one of those old timey bicycles was. He should get some recognition. I'll keep looking.
