Defined by motivational/inspirational speaker, Carl Raye, forgiveness is "Freedom" While living in Butler Alabama in Choctaw County, 18 year-old Carl responded incorrectly to a question. In 1962 he answered a question asked by a White man with "yes" instead of "yes sir." When Blacks addressed White people, the customary response was the latter. Carl was beaten severely for his disrespect. An hour later, the man went to Carl's home and shot his father eight times as Carl helplessly watched.
