No one, none, took on Black History Month except for a teacher that read -as she stated- “a book about Martin” – most claiming “no time”-next year I will have to (in January) make a box of resources available in a kind of here is $300 of stuff I bought and left for you way-I’ve decided that this is what I must do, put out something irresistible.

Sometimes I wonder deeply about this world.

I always appreciate your thoughtful and insightful comments to my posts, and appreciate you reading this most recent post.

A friend, former grad school prof, and diversity worker once told me, “You do the work because you want to.” I think that (White) leaders in independent schools think that people of color do the work by default out of obligation. That was once true in my case. But, now, I know better. There are so many barriers in order to do the work effectively, it becomes a misguided obligation for me as a person of color, and an act of commission. And you are correct: I do have better things to do with my time.
