Allen, I suggest you spell out your abbreviations in the future. I went on a brief search. Is this the organization you were referring to?

'The John Hope Franklin Center for Reconciliation, Inc., is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization formed in 2007, the Center is building its reputation through its programs and projects even before there is a building. Beginning with the 2008 groundbreaking for Reconciliation Park, which was Dr. John Hope Franklin’s last public appearance before his death in March 2009, the Center’s Board of Directors created an exciting vision – to transform the bitterness and mistrust caused by years of racial division, even violence, into a hopeful future of reconciliation and cooperation for Tulsa and the nation.'

'John Hope Franklin Reconciliation Park was completed in October 2010, and is a public-private partnership, owned by The City of Tulsa and managed by the John Hope Franklin Center for Reconciliation, Inc. Ultimately, the serious work of reconciliation will occur in the John Hope Franklin Center building, which will house galleries, archives, a digital story-telling booth, documentary projects, conference space, and other facilities appropriate for a historical site of national significance. Through education and community dialogue, the Center's "parlor" will create an atmosphere for healing and reconciliation.'

I can only hope you are making a joke. If you don't know what it means, ask your mother

JHFC, Ha! Wasn't that worth thinking about for a moment or two?

We're at your beck and call, any more 'golden oldies' Allen? I thought my response with 'The John Hope Franklin Center for Reconciliation' was perfect. C'mon, I want to see you take a knee or two.
