Panel after panel convenes to ask why there are not more dancers of color in ballet. My heart sinks every time. Where is Dance Theatre of Harlem in this conversation? It is so odd to feel like an outsider on an issue that touched my life so profoundly and was at least a part of what Arthur Mitchell set out to address 46 years ago when he and Karel Shook cofounded DTH inRead more...

My husband is white as well, born into a German family. He has brown hair and brown eyes, with shoulders that speckle with freckles in the summer.

Obama Withstands Reactionary Republicans, Billionaire Financiers, and Hard Core Racists
The open letter sent by Republicans to Iran is but the latest insult to the first African American President of the US. Added to all of the previous insults and consistent efforts to undermine Barak Obama as President, the letter conveys a very clear message to African American voters.
