"Before you shoot

brains are loaded!"
- Abraham Lincoln
"Knowledge is power
IF we never stop
learning and we're not afraid
to talk about diversity candidly & respectfully.

if all media is to be
inclusive &
successful."

When we started
The Soloist in class yesterday,
I made a note to try to track down a great piece
60 Minutes did
on Mr. Lopez and Mr.
