Bridget & Stacey,
The schools here in Wyoming don't close for MLK's birthday, which kind
of upsets me, because I think it's important. There is a very low
population of black people here, and I think that's why. I am not
black, but my daughter is half black, because her father was a black
man. Anyway, I really worry about her because I'm afraid that i won't
be able to teach her the black part of her heritage. Any thoughts, or
from anyone on the forum, for that matter? Thanks
Gwenn
