A Statistical Portrait That Puts Black America in a Hopeful Light- October 31, 2007 According to recent reports:http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/10/30/AR2007103002057.html?nav=r... Dr. Hornsby and Mr. Andre7- October 24, 2007 Andre J. Hornsby, the former Prince George's County school superintendent, has that old-school look. Right out of the 1950s. Respectable. Imagine Thurgood Marshall or Howard University physician Charles Drew, crisply dressed in suit and tie, wavy gray hair brushed back to a sheen.http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/10/23/AR2007102302223.html?nav=r... Be Mindful in Caring For Parents Not To Become Theirs- October 10, 2007 I recently made what has become known as an "elder care" visit to my parents' home in Shreveport, La. If you're like me, an aging adult child of aging parents, you know that time wreaks havoc on the body and mind. Arthritis, backache, sore feet, memory loss -- so you can just imagine how your parents must feel.http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/10/09/AR2007100902183.html?nav=r... A Lonely Stand Against the Streets- October 3, 2007 When Ann Brogioli showed up in the Washington Highlands for a candlelight vigil not long ago, teenagers ran to greet her with unabashed affection. Neither D.C. Mayor Adrian Fenty nor D.C. Council member Marion Barry, who represents the Southeast neighborhood, was received as warmly when each arrived.http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/10/02/AR2007100202203.html?nav=r... |
