Will check that one out. Definitely need to expand my civil rights reading. Have focused more on more recent events/issues.

Also check out the Readle app; short stories and questions. It also reads it to you and makes flashcards of the vocab you need.

What are your thoughts on the Eyes on the Prize series? We watched that in high school and in my seminar in college. It’s been awhile but I typically recommend it as a starting point.

Oh. Well, oldest son went as a nutria for Mardi Gras one year. But I’m not eating them!

Listen, the zoo in New Orleans used to keep baby gators on exhibit in the gift shop. Youngest son insisted on seeing them every trip and eating lunch with them. I had to check his pockets to make sure one didn’t come home! I think he left them in LA…

Crawfish? Nutria? Alligators?
If he has crawfish, my family will gladly take them off his hands!!
