Just a few thoughts, as I watch CNN’s Anderson Cooper report.
There is nothing to do, and there is everything to do.
The current problem is one of not enough resources. As I watch a family of men trying to extract a young girl, 13 years old, I cannot help but wonder: what is going through their [...]

I had not thought I’d be essentially reopening The Brown Study with such a dire story, but it so happens that this one touches me pretty directly: although Haiti is not my nation, it is the land of my ancestors, and I have family there, including a cousin, Marie Jo Bredy, and “Granny” Serette, who [...] January 12th, 2010 | Tags: Earthquake, Haiti, Haiti National Palace, Natural Disaster | Category: Personal, world events | Leave a comment

The First Family met with her Royal Majesty Queen Elizabeth II yesterday, a meeting that was shown over and over again on all the news channels. I’m pretty sure it’s not only the American networks, either. What caught my attention, however, is the one person who’s never talked about unless he’s saying something outrageous again.

I have spent quite a few days since my origianl “No More Excuses” post thinking about the myriad little ways the world has changed. By today, 10 days after the world fell on it’s head, I finally began looking at it from a different perspective: that of the racist, the White Supremacist, the person [...] November 15th, 2008 | Tags: racism, Social Commentary | Category: Social Commentary, world events | Leave a comment

Despite all the odds, people keep emerging from the rubble that was downtown Port-au-Prince, hungry, dehydrated, but alive.
In the past week alone, I [...]
