Some pertinent images

Look what I found: an adorable hobbitlass and Brunhilde aka Broomhilda as a Disney Princess! (I am probably more accepting of the Disney Princess shtick than I should be, since I live with a little girl who loves them, but I see and agree with Ms. Washington's point).

Also, I found http://www.becauseofthemwecan.com . I have been looking for something to post about Black History Month that conveyed, well, what the month means to me, education, inspiration, knowledge of the past and hope for the future. This does so brilliantly. The photographer is Ms. Eunique Jones and here's an article about her project.

Oh thank you so much for the links! I have a wide friend base, many with younger people in their families and having new inspiration that is not all about people who look just like me is a blessing.

I really appreciate how much you teach in this journal, thank you for it.
