Following cuts to USAID, the scholarships of 82 Afghan women pursuing further education in Oman have been ended and they face returning to Afghanistan. I wrote to the Education Secretary urging her to work with UK universities to see if the students could continue their studies here.

Flashback: In 1971, the KKK tarred and feathered Willow Run High School's principal From the Free Press archives: A 1971 interview with the principal of Willow Run H.S., whom the Klu Klux Klan targeted for promoting racial equity.

My uncle Wiley Brownlee was tarred and feathered by the kkk for trying to unify Ann Arbor School district. Here’s an article. I hope it’s ok to share this here. www.freep.com/story/news/l...
