The Shape Of 1998

“You’ve got to know the shape of the river perfectly.

Knowing the Real Score: Football vs. Mississippi Education

In fall 1993, while discussing a program for Sunday morning service in our church in Oxford, Miss., a committee member, after looking at her calendar, stated that Sunday would not be a good day for the program because Ole Miss was playing a home football game that weekend.

Career CONSULTANTS – race education

For years, I’ve been teaching course in which the issue of race was virtually irrelevant. Recently, I’ve developed an interest in working the matter of race and culture into my course, but I fear that by doing so, I’ll be marginalized by colleagues on the faculty.
