On the serious side, the education of our young is probably the most serious subject we have to deal with today. This problem is especially acute in the black community where literacy falters the most. There are many reasons for this, but the most acute is the lack of "predevelopment" in the home prior to their entrance into our school systems. The subject of "IRD" was especially developed with the lack of pre-development of children from poor backgrounds in mind. This agenda is presently being pursued at the highest levels of our government, but we must all come together as a community with a thorough understanding of the needs of these children.

I am delighted to start finding my way around this site and look forward to returning often. I just now signed up at the urging of Dr. Monica Tetzlaf in South Bend. I'm not sure if it will show up, but I tried putting into my profile here a link to a tribute I gave in a Quaker magazine for Dr. King on the 30th anniversary of his tragic death:

I look forward to sharing recollections from the '60s "Movement Days," but for now let me just commend you on not only bringing together hundreds of interested and dedicated folks here, but also making that crucial connection between the movement in India (and the preceding one in South Africa) and in the States. Truly a turning point in human history.

Thanks again, -DHF

PS - I hope you might be familiar with a weekly program produced om Atlanta by my sister: "The Paula Gordon Show: Conversations with People at the Leading Edge" which has featured many of the heroes and exemplars that both of us would put in our top listing of those who have affected history for the better: www.paulagordon.com

I've recently started posting pictures from the hip hop studies conference I just put on at Morehouse last week. It went really really good. This was the first type of intellectual gathering such as this at Morehouse. The students had a great time. I look forward to seeing you when you come for graduation.

Thanks for creating this.

At 9:12am on December 4, 2008, Clayborne Carson said…: Hi Gautam,
Yes, I agree that such a panel would be useful, but it is difficult -- due to scheduling conflicts and expense -- to bringing a large number of such leaders together at one time. The King Institute and other entities at Stanford will continue to provide opportunities for veterans of the Freedom Struggle to talk about their experiences. During the past several years, speakers on campus have included Julian Bond, Clarence Jones, Dorothy Cotton, Vincent Harding, and others. We are currently seeking to sponsor similar events.

At 12:44pm on November 21, 2008, Dr. Edley J Moodley said…: Hi Clayborne,
Thanks for your welcome. We are preparing for MLK day here at Lee University. Will you consider coming to give a lecture/presentation on MLK day here? I am interested in your work in the area of Ghandi's influence on Dr. King and the implications it has for us today.

Peace

I was reminded of our class because I just started reading John Carlin's "Playing the Enemy/Nelson Mandela and the Game that Made a Nation." Have you read it? It's great. What an amazing story, with lots of themes reminiscent of Gandhi and King. Your trip to India looked like a great experience! Hope you're well and having a good fall.
All the best,
John

Thanks for creating this space. It's already gathering a powerful energy from any number of satyagrahis. When the world is burning, the right question to ask is "What is being born?" and _we_ are being born. ;-)

Have a ONE-derful weekend!
If you want to be a rebel, be kind. Human-kind, be both.
