Another excellent source for discussions about race: Dawn Turner Trice’s newsblog for the Chicago Tribune. As she puts it, “We have a moment in history to have a national discussion about race. We should seize it and try to mine it for what it’s worth.”

p.s. In this vein, more notes on 1986:
1986 Academy Award for Best Picture: Out of Africa
(The movie’s a classic, of course–and so is the book by Isak Dinesen. Talk about complicated colonial relations!)
1986 Song of the Year “We are the World” (Different? Not so different? Where do good intentions work, and where do they go awry?)
