Mississippi is where I learned about the "Meem Factor" and it is now time for you to learn about - Melchizedek and the Meem Factor! “You see this hand. It has five fingers. You know why God   gave you five fingers? Because there are five kinds of people.   And you don’t want to forget anybody. There are Black people,   Brown people, White people, Red people, and Yellow people.   That’s very convenient because if you keep your hand with   you, and count on your fingers, you will never forget anybody”.  From the words of Lizzie W. Coleman, Principal and founder of the historic black high school in Greenville, Mississippi!
