Alabama?s first African American librarian dies

WSFA 12 - ?She was the first librarian in the state with a masters degree in library science, and went on to open the first library for blacks in Montgomery in 1948.?

Dare to compare

1. Is American politics like Star Trek? Interestingly, after a couple of white males, they had an African American male as the commanding officer before they had a (white) woman. Does that say something about women's position in society, or is it entirely Hilary's fault? 2. Please, everybody stop comparing Obama to JFK. Not that I think that he doesn't have a similar kind of charisma, but let's not forget how JFK's career ended after his initial triumph. The notion that Obama could be killed by a white supremacist/racist/psychopath is likely enough to make me feel very uncomfortable.
