Go  University of Missouri Football Tigers!  Congratulations on their courage to stand up for what counts. This week my students are writing about prejudice.  We’re talking about events in the news:  "Injustice Anywhere is a threat to Justice Everywhere."

Last night  I read a fictionalized account of Sylvia Plath’s last days.  It is told from the viewpoint of young boy who has a chance encounter with the famous poet.  This gave me a good idea: Here, I channel the spirit of Frida Kahlo to relate a true-to-life racial experience.
