I’ve been thinking about BHM, and wanted to say something about it on ARL, so I did a little digging. The first thing I came up with was Cynthia Tucker’s article that was published locally in the Chronicle on 2/9/09. I think Tucker did a brilliant job elucidating the issues around keeping up the tradition, while simultaneously looking forward to better days. I hope to share this with my students. Let’s hear your thoughts.

I used to covet Mr. Freddie Douglass’s famous grey stripe in his hair. In fact, I think I tried to copy it when I was 11 or 12 with kool-aid.
As you can tell, I really focused on the important things in school.
Heidiesq!
I love it. We focus on those important things too. We love it all here at ARL–the high and the low. Thanks for your comment!
