Final Black History Month NRU

Out of the shadow of the Emory president's remark, the university is hosting an exhibit of little seen documents and photos from the Southern Christian Leadership Conference.

There was a flurry of reporting around the release and screening of a movie about Whitney Young, a controversial (according to the movie) civil rights figure.

Special for Back History Month, either ironically or just in bad taste...

...southern states are going to court over voting rights and the government having to still watch what they are doing.

...blackface costume for Purim... really?

...Supreme Court Justice has to rebuke the prosecutor for saying things that in a supposedly *post racial* world we would be above [that only one other justice saw fit to sign on to as the court decided not to hear the case of defendant affected by the remark...by the way].

...the Oscars brought out the folks musing on Lincoln and "forgotten emancipationists"
