Thank you for bringing Carter G. Woodson to our attention! I had no idea the commemoration has been around for so long! What clear, powerful voices we’ve been blessed with through the years! You’ve sparked a quick look back that, like so much of our history, has yielded both encouraging (Canada, UK) and unsettling (Kent State) facets.
I taught in the 1990s, when the only technology battle to fight was confiscating pagers from the kids who brought them to school. No way could I teach anyone in the screen zombies world of today.

Thanks for your kind words. And thanks for reading the piece, too. The history teacher inside me needs to come out, on occasion.
History teacher, eh? Too cool! History has been coming alive big time these past years!! Bring it on!!
