What does the letter A mean and why is it important?

[Aaron (Al) Lewis]

Posted this on Face Book and got some candid and frank responses from a few intelligent people. Most are clueless or don't want to know or worse have not a clue why it is something important to know.

"I spoke with a young man last night for several hours. he was smarter than most folks I have met, graduated in the upper percentile of his class in college, yet he had no clue to what the letter A means nor did he know how to find out. He is a product of Memphis City Schools. What more could I expect?"

Adisa---So when the older people would say "He/She is an unlettered person, they were saying, that person is uneducated.

If one bothers to take the time to explore this thread, they would come into the awareness of a great gift.
