Can tomorrow really be the last day of February? Where did the time go?
In this post, let me clear out most of my drafts by passing on some miscellaneous topics and links. I had intended to write a full entry on each; Black History doesn't stop just cause February does, though, so I still possibly will write at greater length about these topics later in the year. I still have two posts that I plan to get out tomorrow, so stay tuned.
I want to thank everyone who dropped into my blog during my experiment in (almost) daily blogging. I hope that something I shared made you think, or taught you something you did not know before. I know I certainly learned a lot.
If you dropped in hoping to catch my enlightening musings on the graduate school experience, that will return as a topic here at this blog shortly.
1. Listing of extensive coverage over many years from the Chronicle of Higher education about AFFIRMATIVE ACTION: http://chronicle.com/indepth/affirm/
2. I wrote before about the archives of the interviews used in the documentary series "Eyes on the Prize"--That archive is housed at Washington University libraries in St. Louis: http://library.wustl.edu/units/spec/filmandmedia/hampton/index.html Complete, unedited, transcripts are available for many of the interviews.
3. You can view the webcast from this year's Conference of U.S. Mayors at http://www.broadcasturban.net/index.htm I have frequently said during these posts how "complex" different issues are or how they have multiple roots--The issues that D.C. mayor Anthony Williams and others discuss as facing our modern cities are examples of this complexity, multiplied tenfold.
(Added bonus: You can also listen to one of the best Black radio stations in the country from this site, WBLS in New York!)
4. Amerstam News article on activities commemorating the life of Malcolm X: http://www.amsterdamnews.org/News/Article/Article.asp?NewsID=54102&sID=4
5. Web site for the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture: http://www.nypl.org/research/sc/sc.html
