One of the first to take black students - he bucked the trend, I salute him for that . He's old school, from a different era, a great man.

Thanks for the artclie.
You're firing on all cylinders Gene, well done!

I particularly liked the way you linked Sifu Salvatera's story to the history of CMA moving into this country. You see a lot about CMA history in China, but how it came to be here is not well told at all.

And the mixed-culture issue is never discussed here, but very common in American CMA schools. Thanks for bringing that out of the Sifu.
