The Walking Eagle boys

These are my nephews, sons of a Jamaican-born Black immigrant mother (my sister-cousin) and a Montana-born Native American father, which makes them Jamaican-American-Assiniboine Sioux. Their wonderfully mixed heritage is interesting in itself, but what I find so fascinating is how different the brothers are. You can look at the photo and see the whole story, one an artist and musician with a throwback seventies vibe, who teaches guitar and piano when not playing gigs or recording original compositions, the other a button-down stock trading college boy who is studying to be a schoolteacher. I bet you can tell who's who. Both their parents met as teachers at the same high school in Virginia, before their mother went on to study law and become a government civil rights attorney, and their father went back to school and became an addiction services social worker. Now their boys are both pursuing teaching, too, along with their other passions. I wonder where their own roads will ultimately lead. Black and white or color? I couldn't decide which image to go with, so I chose both. I adore these young men.
