“Your presentation on your family’s history, and the impact of slavery, both past and present was the most powerful I have seen in my eight years of teaching. During the assembly, you shook the hand of one of my students. After the assembly, he exclaimed, “Today I held history in my hands!” Your legacy and passion for creating change is an inspiration.”

"Not only was the presentation highly informative and relevant to the lives of our young people, but the rapport you were able to establish with our students was something to behold."

"Mr. Morris became a highlight for our school year when he visited and shared about his family history and the present day abolitionist movement. Students continue to talk about the impact that Mr. Morris had on their thinking and attitudes toward slavery."

"Our students were completely engaged in the presentation and are eager to learn more about modern day slavery and what we can do to stop it. The presentation was relevant, historic, and inspiring - we would love to have you back again next year."

"Mr. Morris has definitely inherited his Great Great Great Grandfather's oratorical talents and gives a captivating presentation of his family genealogy and history of rising out of slavery to achieve historical accomplishments that have impacted the lives of generations of African-Americans."

"Your presentation was very enlightening and inspirational. Your comments regarding modern-day slavery and human trafficking were informative as well and will benefit our agents who investigate federal violations of these matters."

"Thank you for sharing the hardships and difficulties of being a slave. I enjoyed your lecture about Frederick Douglass and Booker T. Washington. You were very inspiring."

"Mr. Morris, thank you for coming. It was an honor meeting you. You have inspired me to be a modern-day abolitionist. When you first walked through the door I literally fell off of my chair."

"I thought it was one of the most wonderful programs we've had in my eight years at Paint Branch."

"I received so many great compliments about your presentation, but perhaps the greatest compliment came when I found out that, after your assembly, our library was swarmed with requests for books on Frederick Douglass and Booker T. Washington."

"You were amazing and everyone who was present agrees with me! We were blessed to have you. If there is an opportunity to have you speak at another event, I will not hesitate to call you."
