OK, this adds absolutely nothing to the conversation, but I really hope folks find it funny. And as readers of this past month's books (and others like THE ABSOLUTELY TRUE DIARY...) know, humor can be a way of bridging cultures and defusing tension.
"Discovered" is the term my husband and I used at 11 pm to refer to our son's homework due the next day. Given that he was well aware of my work with MultiCultural Review (and who couldn't be with hundreds of review books lying around the house) and that he has ADHD and was prone to this late-night occurrence, our son started calling himself Columbus with us at home.

Art must belong to everyone and everyone has a role in creating and sharing art with young people. Any view which divides art by race, class, gender, does the work of the enemies of the creative process.
