As much as I love taking on amazing written works in American history and putting my perspective and analysis on it, it's never going to be enough.
I am only one man with my own limited experiences. I may know a fair amount about US history but you have your own expertise. I have always believed that my goal as an educator is to give others the power and courage to find their own voice. Adding your voice to this project will only make it better. Whether you are 16 or 61...if you are reading this I want to know if you would be willing to be a guest contributor for this project in 2017. All you have to do is read the Letter from Birmingham Jail which I linked here. Then the rest is up to you. Do you have an experience this makes you think of? Does this remind you of something else happening here or in the world? Are you intrigued by the word choice, the literary devices or something else about it? How do you annotate this great work? What do you have to add to the discourse? I am not asking you to pump out a doctoral thesis by next week, I just want you to commit to helping me out between now and August. August people! If you think you are not good enough or not wanted, trust me you are. Let's make this the best seminar yet!
