Writers Against Racism: August "Augie" Martin & John "Jack" Groll

February 6, 2010 | Link This | Email this | Comments (1)

"Where Dreams Take Flight" -August Martin High School motto 
Amy Bodden Bowllan with John Groll at St. Paul's church BML on 1/17/2010

In 2005, I interviewed one of the last people to fly with Amelia Earhart, who has since passed away. Marguerite McDonough Jersey was a rare, hidden treasure, tucked neatly away in Indian Lake, NY, in the Adirondack Mountains. And while her story was never reported in the mainstream media, I knew it was an important one to document for future historical data...and it was all thanks to my mother and sister for introducing me to her.

Writers Against Racism: Revisiting A "Slippery Slope"

February 5, 2010 | Link This | Email this | Comments (4)

I hope you follow me as I journey through and add, yet, one more (obvious) piece to this ever-unfolding W.A.R. puzzle.
 
While this post is longer than usual, it is substantive in that it provides a glimpse into some heated, ongoing, and much needed debate, that pertains to W.A.R.

Again, I ask that you follow me. And after reading this post, should you have any questions, comments, ideas, or just want to disagree with it, use the comment section. I won't even post a picture, so not to distract your reading eyes. :) 

Here we go...

I admit it. Virginia Hamilton and Arnold Adoff have totally fascinated me beyond words. I hope you don't mind my effusiveness, but they have re...Read More

I was on a mission to find Jeanette LeMons-Attisso, who I reported on last week.
Comes via Haiti Reads

You'll recall, Jeanette was visiting Haiti before the quake struck, as she was working on her Haiti Reads library project. I was curious as to how she, and her library were doing.

Here's my interview with her.  

A.B.  After watching the Haiti Reads library video posted on Youtube, I wondered if you were okay? Could you sh...Read More

Writers Against Racism: Jerry Craft

January 28, 2010 | Link This | Email this | Comments (3)

I met the most interesting "character" recently, who has blessed me with the title: My NEW bff. Go, me! 


Anyway, Jerry Craft is most talented with both his charm (see letter below) and his livelihood, encouraging children to read - through his books and his animations. So for me, Jerry's letter was like opening a pandora's box of  goodies, and he has quickly become an honorary W.A.R. member. Congrats, Jerry! Keep inspiring our young people to read - who for some - will only reach their dreams when exposed to books they can relate to. You
