Thanks for adding me.

As far as I know, only one of his schools has been damaged. (This is probably outdated news, however.) Because his schools are built by the villagers themselves, and not by some outside government organization or other entity, the villagers have a much more vested interest in the schools, and protect them more vehemently. That's not to say things are peaceful for the villagers -- just that there's a stronger sense of community surrounding the schools that are built by the people themselves, and thus greater protection for the buildings.
Thanks and sorry for the late....
Sorry for the late response!!!
Thanks for accepting me as your friend!!
How are you?
I enjoyed reading your library list. I added "Hubert Harrison" to my Amazon shopping cart after seeing it listed here.
I saw that you recently added A Mery. I'm hoping to get a few folks together to read and discuss over in the African-American lit group. If you're interested, stop by
Thanks! Some people hate that I tell a bit about the plot and characters, but I never think the back cover tells enough for me to know if I'll like it or not!!
Enjoy

Coo! I like your catalog.
Yes, I posted a message to her as well as we had talked about it before. Thanks for the reminder as I do sometimes rush.
Nzingha,

One thing I just noticed that I left off that was also a great help when I did not where some people might have gone, is a CD of all the African Americans listed in the 1870 census. It is in the form of a searchable database which means you can search by given name, surname, city, county, state, etc. It is wonderful if you are looking for unusual or usual names as it lists all of them in every state if you pick or one state if you pick that. It is called African-Americans in the 1870 U. S. Federal Census produced by Heritage Quest.
You and I share the only copies of The Savage Hits Back. I read this after picking it up at a used book sale some time ago. Very interesting read and one that many people are missing out on with a vantage point well worth considering. Your neighbor over in Tennessee.

Hi, Nzingha:

I discovered this book while watching PBS. It is called Slavery by Another Name by Douglas A. Blackmon. 18 of 19 reviews on Amazon are five stars.
You're welcome. Your library displays a wealth of diversity and craft.
