Journaling Responses to "Week Twenty-Seven: Civil Rights and Diversity"

This past week, several bloggers took on the challenge of writing about civil rights and social justice and then posting their responses on their blogs. Here are links where you can read their stories:

• Larry Lehmer of Passing It On posted "Black, white, yellow and brown: Does it really matter?"

• Thomas MacEntee of Destination: Family Austin wrote "Civil Rights and Diversity: Serving Witness, Giving Voice." He also invited us to re-read "Race and Family History" which he posted back in November.

• UPDATE 20 Jan 2008: Colleen of Orations of OMcHodoy posted her thoughts on "Civil Rights and Diversity".
  

Several other people commented on my post or e-mailed me privately to tell me that they were also writing responses, but due to the sensitive nature of the topic, were not posting them on their blogs. This is certainly understandable.

If you have responded to this topic on your blog and would like me to link to your post, please contact me. My e-mail can be found by clicking on my profile information in the right-hand column.

As a reminder, you don't need to have a blog to write these responses. They're meant for you to write in whatever format you are most comfortable with, whether in a bound journal, in a document format (like Microsoft Word) on your computer, or online in private or public format, whatever works best for you. Be sure to make backups if you are writing in electronic format, whether you print up your writings or store them on a CD, DVD, or USB drive.
