Dr. James Burnley in a recent article for students exhorted them to go beyond what they were presented in classes:  “…. go further and seek the truth about your history. Seeking such truth means that you will have to read beyond what you are required to read in most if not all of the degree programs you are seeking to attain.”

Burley discusses the work of Mamie & Kenneth Clark:

Every day emails and email forwards I often would like to share with my friends and family come from Edward. I don’t always get to them in a timely way.  Edward sent one on  January 31 about a great show on finances on Moyers & Company. I checked out the site today and found another one on the organizer Saul Alinsky. You can view the full episodes. Glad to see Bill Moyers is back.

I am asking Edward to become a regular contributor so he can post directly on 4comculture.com.  Hope he will come on board.
