Anne,
I, too, am surprised by your stereotyping. How long has it been since
you have been in Southside VA? I grew up in Chicago and have lived here in
VA for 20 years. I teach in Prince George County, VA, which is just outside
of Petersburg. Most of my classes are 40% African American. Trust me, these
are not eye-lowering, cowering young men and women. They look me in the eye
and can hold intelligent, assertive discussions. We (my students and I)
have grown beyond the memories of slavery. We ask you to join us.
