A Few Blocks Apart--a different treatment of the "N Word"

     A few short blocks away from the offices of New South Books, the publisher who caused an international stir by coming out with a version of Mark Twain's novels with the word "nigger" replaced with "slave", the Southern Poverty Law Center has posted a letter from a teacher in Louisiana.

     She described her own experience with the word and her students.

Music among the shelves

     My friend and former APT Co-worker Bob Corley will be performing this evening at New South Books. With him will be Mark Fair, who's sign company restored the old clock on Dexter Avenue, and who has been playing the guitar since he was 9.

     In addition to the music and refreshments, you'll be able to pick up a copy of one of New South's offerings...like the revised Huckleberry Finn profiled on 60 Minutes on Sunday!

     The event is from 5:30 - 7:30 this Thursday evening.
