Having two children and got off of journalism track. The tech world was booming. The combination of being great at math and technology and writing and communicating brought me the opportunity to move into this new era of micro computing early on. I just gravitated toward it and the opportunities were so great. How do somebody who is one of nine children, indianapolis, get into writing . Who spurred it on . My parents were very good at keeping us busy. In addition to School Activities and social service, i was always writing relatives. My mother encouraged that it greatly. Relatives would write back. Beautiful letters. Cousins across the country. I just got to where that was something i was encouraged. I was always a chatty child. They called me chatty patty. Putting that chattiness into writing and encouraged and reinforced through the ongoing communication i had. How about those eight siblings . Where are they . My family is all over the country. They are tied together by one thing my
Afternoon. Organizing across the boundaries, strategies and coalitions in the struggle for the civil rights and social justice. Before we get started i just wanted to explain a little bit about the genesis of this panel or this how it came about like a lot of great ideas, i came across this book doing a search in the catalog. And this is many months ago we were kind of thinking about what do we want to do. There are so many books that come out on if Civil Rights Movement every year. We thought lets focus on some that are kind of different and interesting that kind of change how we think about the movement, kind of up in our understanding of it. Hen we came across this one.

The symposium to Mark National heritage month. Its about half an hour. Good afternoon, and welcome back. This is our next panel in the afternoon session of this symposium organizing across the boundaries, strategies and coalitions and the struggle for the civil rights and social justice. Before we get started, i just wanted to explain a little bit about the genesis of this panel or whole symposium and how it came about. Like a lot of great ideas that come about the library, came across this book just doing a search in the catalog, and this is many months ago. We were kind of thinking about what do we want to do for this Public Program series, and theres so many books that come out on the Civil Rights Movement every year. We thought, well, lets focus on some that are kind of different and interesting that kind of change how we think about the movement, kind of upend our understanding of it, and so when we came across this one by lorne ariza we got excited, not just because it had such g
Day weekend as such a clear underdog since george bush in 1992. The u. S. Unemployment rate is still at 8. 4 . 190,000 deaths from the coronavirus. Let me repeat that. 190,000 dead americans. There is unrest in cities across the nation over Police Brutality and racial injustice. And now the president is on defense after a report in the atlantic late last week that he called americans who died in battle losers and suckers. Those are the headwinds the president is facing as a new cbs poll of likely voters has joe biden leading donald trump 5242. It might come as no surprise then that the president has been trying to recast his handling of the economic damage suffered from the coronavirus and his response to the virus itself. The president held a press conference at the white house today to do just that, but he had some trouble sticking to the facts.

It should come as no surprise that the president is trying to recast his economic handling of the economic damage suffered because of the coronavirus and the damage itself. The president held a prmps at the white house today to do just that, but he had some trouble sticking to the facts. He painted an overly rosy picture of the economy, even though just over half of the 22 million total jobs lost between february and april have still not returned. And he struggled to defend himself against accusations that his push for a Covid Vaccine has focused more on politics than science. Your point is that what theyre saying is that theyre saying it for political purposes. Yes. You have asserted repeatedly that a vaccine will be on the market before the election. No, i didnt say they will. I said by the end of the year. The same thing but youre not quoting me accurately. I said that vaccines will be on the market by the end of the year, but they may even be on the ma
