Book Review and Mild Rant

Context, Thought, and Learning: ShiraDest Offers Project Do Better

This might become more of a rant, but I doubt it.  This book needs more circulation, and Black History needs more attention.  See the book review first:

A Free Man of Color and His Hotel: Race, Reconstruction, and the Role of the Federal GovernmentA Free Man of Color and His Hotel: Race, Reconstruction, and the Role of the Federal Government by Carol Gelderman
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Here is another important book on Black History in DC that I read in 2013, but neglected to review, in the rush to finish editing Stayed on Freedom’s Call.

Because my default mechanism, and by extension my comfort zone, is writing. Plain and simple. Whether it’s a PR piece, a blog post or an online article, writing is my preoccupation, my life. I am always planning something new to write, and I write every day.

So when did I struggle out of that cozy little rut? When I forced myself (or…

The Economic (In)Accessibility of COVID Tests — Blind Injustice

You would hope that, nearly two years into this global pandemic, the wealthiest nation in the history of humankind would figure out a way to make COVID tests economically accessible. What I’ve heard and experienced secondhand in recent weeks has shown to me that such hope is not the reality. I have seen this for […]
