Mr. Simmons, now deceased, was the African American man who designed and built the gates on many of the famous Charleston gardens, as well as the gate at the entrance to the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, DC.</SPAN></div>

The poster had an old black man, a lot like Mr. Simmons himself<VAR id=yui-ie-cursor></VAR>, down on his knees beside his bed. The caption beneath read, "If you think God doesn't answer prayer, then get off your knees and do something."</SPAN></div>

With the considerable amount of money he made from his gates he sent his children and then his grandchildren to college. And then he sent most of the neighborhood kids as well. </SPAN><SPAN style="RIGHT: auto">Prayer, the action before the action, indeed! Poverty, chastity and obedience in the flesh!</SPAN></div>
