Nervous Energy and Fresh Beginnings: A Teacher’s Perspective on the First Day of School

Today, I begin my 27th year of teaching — I have come to believe that a great teacher is a great artist and that there are as few as there are any other great artists. Teaching might even be the greatest of the arts since the medium is the human mind and spirit. John Steinbeck I am still nervous…

A Southern Queen of Rock and Roll and a Legacy of Triumph

I last wrote a newsletter for AfroScibe over a year ago. That's way too long. I will not monopolize your time by rambling about my publication. Please take a look at some of my latest work. I wrote a post about Tina Turner accompanied by a poem. Its theme was her triumph over Ike. If you have time, let me know what you think. As always, peace, and thanks for reading.

What Does it Say About Policing When Five Black Officers Beat a Black Man to Death

It’s not always black and white, that’s what — When we hear in the news that a Black person was beaten or killed by the police, we usually assume it was a white officer. However, that’s not always the situation. There was a Black officer charged in the killing of George Floyd in 2020, Alex Kueng. What’s ironic is…

Why I Hate Hoodies

As a teacher, this piece of clothing is the bane of my existence. — If I could go back in time and find the inventive and creative mind that invented this piece of warm clothing, I would cuss him like he ate the last piece of my birthday cake.
