Top Secret America: Dana Priest, William Arkin
Has the Balance Tipped? FRONTLINE September 7, 2011, 3:30 pm ET by Philip Bennett On a rainy day in October 2005, Dana Priest was escorted across the immaculate marble lobby of CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia along with a pair of her editors from The Washington Post (I was one of them).

Celebrating International Literacy Day
The UN declared September 8 International Literacy Day back in ’96 in order to celebrate the achievements of activists and new readers across the world. Because literacy is a broad concept mostly centered around critical thinking, literacy is positively linked to community health, maternal health, and family health. It’s also difficult to teach in an educational setting post-NCLB, when teacher tra
Race, Heritage, & Reality
Back in 2009, I wrote a post about race & self-identification and how being Black & X is treated differently than any other form of being multiracial.

At the time I was specifically discussing being Black & White, but really that wh

What Price A Black Girl’s Life?
A thing I’m noticing in pop culture is this idea that black women can’t be traumatized by anything that happens to them. Usually when a female character is sexually assaulted/kidnapped/abused it works to make the audience sympathetic to that character. We certainly see that trope enough in books/movies/TV shows with white characters. In fact such traumatic moments are often used to “redeem” bad g

It's often the most Cold-War-conventional thinkers who claim that Iran, if it had nuclear weapons, would not be deterred from attacking Israel.

Tehran is a sophisticated place that knows this perfectly well. Most Iranians I know think
