Peace and blessings to everyone. Hope you all had a great weekend and are ready for the upcoming week.
I wanted to share with you this week's upcoming events and hope to see some of you out and about.
* LAST WEEK'S ACTIVITIES. Before I begin I want to say everyone who made last week's activities a success. The vists to Peeples Middle School, Pecan Park Elementary and the MS State Hospital were all productive and yielded some wonderful fruit. Thanks to the staff of each location.
* MILLSAPS COLLEGE. I was interviewed by Millsaps College on Friday, February 17th as a feature for their newspaper on the Arts. Look for the link to the article to be posted soon. I want to thank Millsaps College for this honor, making it the second year in a row I was profiled during their PROFILES series.
* Travis Hunter interview: On Friday, February 17th I taped my interview with bestselling author Travis Hunter. I am still so awed by his straightforward talk and no-holds-barred ideas. Look for the interivew in April 2006, along with information he shared first with us about his upcoming stage play adaptation of one of his bestsellers.
* Vincent Alexandria interview: On Tuesday, February 21, I will be taping an interview with author/poet/activist Vincent Alexandria. It will be my first interview with the author of titles such as Postal Blus, If Walls Could Talk and Poetry From the Heart. Look for it also in April 2006.

On Tuesday, February 21 at 4p.m. I will be joining Clarin-Ledger cartoonist Marshall Ramsey and visual artist Laurel Schooler in judging student artwork from Rankin County for the Junior Auxillary of Rankin County's ART AT WORK. Then on Wednesday, February 22, I will be a presenter for the day for Rankin County students. I have been involved in this event in my hometown for over five years, and every year it just gets better.
