Thought for the Week
Remember, I educate you not because I have to but out of love... So the updates for this month will focus on race and ethnicity. I'm not a psychologist, or a sociologist, or even an anthropologist, but I know stupid human behavior when I see it. And now you get to see it too. Unfortunately, some of this is going to be "advanced material" that isn't going to readily accessible to those who don't spend their lives facing these issues. But I'm sure you will catch on quickly.Featured Site for the Week: American Visionaries: Legends of Tuskegee
This three-part web exhibit highlights the achievements of Booker Taliafero Washington, George Washington Carver and the Tuskegee Airmen whoo all came to Tuskegee and created their own legends. Tuskegee is more than a town located in Macon County, Alabama. It is an idea and an ideal. It was a bold experiment and a site of major African-American achievements for over 100 years.

Is it still politically correct to say Black History Month? It seems like there are fewer and fewer things we can still say these daze.
