Jowi's presentation inspired me to, of all things, write my first Wikipedia article! How? Well, I was blown away when Joey said the Six String Nation Guitar contains a piece of the cabin built by Canada's first black cowboy, John Ware. Black Canadians' stories are often left out of Canadian history - even by the public institutions using their tax money to tell that history. Jowi also said the guitar has a piece from the Nova Scotia Home for Colored Children from the early 1900s. I checked out the Six String Nation Web site that tells you about each piece and found out the Home was co-founded by Nova Scotia's first black university grad and lawyer, James Robinson Johnston. I checked Wikipedia to see if there was an article about his important story- and there wasn't. So, I wrote one. It took some work to make it good enough that it wouldn't get deleted but I did and it seems to be staying now.

I missed the keynote so it was great to catch it now. Jowi's message about storytelling has revitalized how I look at my podcast. Thanks so much for posting this Robin.
