    Opinions welcome: is it rude to read when travelling with a friend? (It takes 17 hours to get to Dubai.)

    Good ? We memorized & recited poems during Black History Week. Langston Hughes & Paul Laurence Dunbar were assigned, most popularly, but James Weldon Johnson was also in the mix, especially “The Creation” and Judgment Day.” Few women, alas!

    When I was a kid, we memorized poems to recite at the Black History Week program. Do they still do that?

    There was so much in that flute case. The misspelled name. Being forced to play the girly instrument, when I really would have rather been writing.

    I was cleaning out my room at my parents' house and I found my flute case with "Tiari Jones" written on it with pink nail polish. When I saw it, I wanted to get in a time machine and hug little 13 year old me.

    But here is the sad thing, I started spelling my name that way for a couple of years because I was worried that people would think poorly of me and my folks because of the way I spelled my name.

    I had a teacher change the spelling of my name because she said my parents "don't understand phonetics." She was a back lady out of Morrison novel.

    My high school vice principal, a white woman, asked to write me a letter of rec for college. Called me a "high achieving African American." Told her she misspelled my name. She said she wrote it how the readers would be able to pronounce it and refused to change it. I was crushed
