"[White readers often believe they are colorblind.] Until they read books featuring nonwhite characters. I once overheard a young white man at a book festival say to his friend, “Have you read the new Kureishi? Same old thing—loads of Indian people.” To which you want to reply, “Have you read the new Franzen? Same old thing—loads of white people."

Awesome moments in history — In 1967, Kathrine Switzer was the first woman to run the Boston marathon. After realizing that a woman was running, race organizer Jock Semple went after Switzer shouting, “Get the hell out of my race and give me those numbers.” However, Switzer’s boyfriend and other male runners provided a protective shield during the entire marathon.The photographs taken of the incident made world headlines, and Kathrine later won the NYC marathon with a time of 3:07:29.

Wow, just in 1967. So recent.](http://25.media.tumblr.com/5e3e5edf1c8fae9cd3fdedc44c5631ae/tumblr_mfhs6f3VUh1qbu6fno1_500.jpg)

An enduring legacy of the New Deal, FDR established the Civilian Conservation Corps with an executive order signed April 5, 1933.
In the midst of the Great Depression, the program put thousands of unemployed young men to work, planting trees, building roads, improving State and National Parks, even combating forest fires and other natural disasters.
Never a permanent agency, the scale of the CCC was reduced as the economy improved, and it was disbanded in 1942 as the country geared up for World War II.
More at Prologue: “Into the Woods: The First Year of the Civilian Conservation Corps”
I love the CCC, and I wonder if it’s a program that could work today.

everythingisacasestudy asked: I work in a cafe where we write names on cups for our customers, and this is a university town with lots of international students. White people always get so upset when I don't get their "creatively-spelled" version of Danielle right (hint there's a silent Z in there somewhere) while Asian patrons don't even bother telling me their name and are surprised when I ask them how to spell it. Makes me wonder how many baristas just skip them over because their names are too "weird."
The contrast in the responses there is very telling. Thanks for sharing.
