It seems to me this is right on target for our topic. Historical fiction -- historical perspective, inclusion, omission, the most insidious of the ways minorities have been treated in and by the literature. We can't continue that policy when convening panels, etc. Thanks, Arnold, for keeping us on our toes. 50 years ago Brown vs Board of Education but wasn't just about the same time ago that you and Virginia married and that union was not recognized in 29 states at the time? Maybe we'll be seeing parallels 50 years from now in what is happening in Massachusetts. Now, I'm way off subject. Apologies but cheers to our Gatekeeper! Sharon Hartman
