Burnside Writers Collective published my article “St. John’s Leads the Nation in Civil Rights,” about the civil rights history of the Church of the Presidents. The article includes information on Barack Obama’s inauguration and Martin Luther King Day.

Did you have a favorite robot growing up?
Kalo mina! February is for buying yourself flowers, lighting the good candles, adorning our typing fingers with jewels. It’s for hunkering down and doing the work you love.
Some subway stations are a work of art.
Nature is where art begins.
I have my own bench in Central Park.
Jack Kerouac, author of “On the Road,” used to kneel and pray before he began writing. His diaries are filled with prayers and drawings of crosses.

I appreciate that you highlight a church involved in promoting civil rights. It is a very appropriate piece on this special day to celebrate the legacy of Dr. King. We have come a long way, yet still have a long way to go.
I chose to write today on the racism that was and still is prevalent among some white Midwesterners. It’s called “Was He Only Dreaming?: Hoosier Perspectives on Martin Luther King”. I’d love for you to check it out and tell me what you think.
Great! I look forward to checking it out!
