I have been a teacher for a short period of time. What I found inspirational was the enthusiasm among the teachers that NEH has selected. These teachers, most of whom have been in the profession for over a decade, are eager to learn more and to give their students the very best. For that I commend Dr. Early and his staff on the selection. Additionally, the topics that were introduced every day can and will be used in my class. Such figures as Father Divine, the St. Louis Riot, and the term “New Negro,” are all topics my student should have in their database. Again, I will like to personally thank this Institute and the participants for a pleasurable and educational three weeks.
