GEORGE ELIOT
Oh the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person,
having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pouring them all
right out, just as they are -- chaff and grain together -- certain that a
faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and with
the breath of kindness blow the rest away. -George Eliot (pen name of Mary
Ann Evans), novelist (1819-1880)

A site about lynching...
This is an extraordinary piece of work called WITHOUT SANCTUARY.
It deals with the lynchings of black people that took place in the U.S.
It is a flash movie made with pictures and postcards. The comment may not be too difficult for you to understand
BUT I MUST WARN YOU:
IT IS EXTREMELY VIOLENT and SHOCKING.
So if you're soft-hearted, you might not want to watch it.
As they say: "The film is not recommended for people of a nervous disposition."

KING OF SLAM
High School Teacher & Slam Poet Taylor Mali on "What Teachers Make"

Slam poetry is a form of performance poetry that occurs within a competitive poetry event, called a "slam", at which poets perform their own poems (or, in rare cases, those of others) that are "judged" on a numeric scale by randomly picked members of the audience.
Taylor Mali is considered to be the most successful poetry slam strategist of all time, having led six of his seven national poetry slam teams to the finals stage and winning the championship itself a record four times before anyone had even tied him at three, Mali was one of the original poets to appear on the HBO original series "Russell Simmons Presents Def Poetry." He was also the "golden-tongued, Armani clad villain" of Paul Devlin's 1997 documentary film "SlamNation," which chronicled the National Poetry Slam Championship of 1996, the year of Mali's first national team championship.
