Slide 187: 

There was no intention at any time in this presentation to implicitly or explicitly include or exclude anyone. All depictions are my responsibility based on a mindset at the time of selecting pictures to be presented with specific songs. The result, of course, is the possibility of adversely characterizing individuals without intention. Laugh it off! I hope you all enjoyed this!
