Today, SugarSugarSalt Lit Magazine re-published my bit of memoir, "Hospitality," a recollection of a family meal at a newly integrated Howard Johnson's in the early 1960s.

Protest is brewing again in Selma. In the wake of Callais, and the overt gerrymandering and dilution of the Black vote that the Supreme Court now says is legal, protestors marched today. (credit: Joyce Vance, Civil Discourse)

How do we live in a world where mediocre podcasts get more funding than a #PBS station?

WEIU-TV leaves airwaves after loss of federal funding

Ten months after Congress voted to rescind federal funds for public media, the former PBS affiliate at Eastern Illinois University will cease its televised broadcasting service today, May 15. For more than 40 years, WEIU has served eastern Illinois as a public television and radio station and a training ground for student journalists at Eastern Illinois University.

The pic below is from this afternoon's Hell No to #JimCrow 2.0 rally in South Jersey with my friend, also named Pam!

This was one of many sister rallies to the two main events in Selma and Montgomery, Alabama to support civil rights / voting rights after the #Callais decision gutted what was left of the VRA.

Observation: the organizer told me lots of new people attended ... white people. Hopefully Callais is the wake-up call needed.
