The Power of One A Celebration of Black History Month and the Unsung Heroes of Thomasville Article PhotoAs our final tribute to Poppa D, Mr. Frank Delaney, we’d like to share a few final thoughts. When asked about some of his words of wisdom he’s given to students over the years, he says one of his favorites is, “Don’t let my ignorance cause you to be a fool.” He said that he wanted students to understand that if they knew more about something than he did, then he encouraged them to think and learn on their own. When asked what he wants his legacy to be, he answered simply, “The greatness of a man is not the life he’s lived; it’s the lives he’s touched while he lived.” We think our community will agree that by this standard, Poppa D is one of the greatest men of our community. Thank you, Mr. Delaney, for your service to the youth of Thomasville! You are a hero to many!
