For the record


This image is for Ngozi and Alex



For the record and for Michelle who could not join us, last Sunday we talked about student life on campus and reflected on the value of education in everyone's life growing up.

When researching the lives of the women in the triptych, all of you will find that education, formal or otherwise played a determining role in helping these women achieve their destiny.

Ngozi: when you have read Jean-Claude Baker's biography of Josephine Baker, I think you should interview Mr. Baker. For one, he is a fascinating storyteller but also, he is both one of Josephine Baker's adoptive sons and an authority on the subject. When you are ready, I will help you set up the interview.

Again, while finding quotes can be fairly easy, it is important to remember that once you have made your selection of one or more, each one of you is expected to justify your choices based upon your own research.
