One town, Oatman, is known for them roaming the streets, and the residents carefully monitor the burros' health and don't let visitors feed them anything but healthy snacks.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01774383554326288663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-4051092889978740592020-06-27T23:31:57.873-07:002020-06-27T23:31:57.873-07:00After reading about J.A.

When I was about 10, when my father was an organizer for Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers, I saw the film "Salt of the Earth" about striking union Mexican zinc miners in New Mexico. It's based on a real strike in 1951. What is exciting is that the women, the wives of the miners, take the lead and end up in jail. Solidarity is built. <br />I've seen it many times since. It's a wonderful movie. My women friends cheer nonstop as the women stand up to their spouses, the company and the jailers. Hope you can see it sometime.Kathy D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18418720666849497808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-51302057626788973262020-06-27T23:02:51.006-07:002020-06-27T23:02:51.006-07:00Seeing the pyramids at Uxmal reminded me of a fami...Seeing the pyramids at Uxmal reminded me of a family trip to Mexico in 1965. My sister, father and I visisted them, and that's where I developed a fear of heights. Trying to walk down the very high, steep steps was impossible for my father and me. So we climbed down backwards holding onto a thick chain that went the entire length of the steps, and we went step by step. My father was sweating and cursing, and in my life until then,I had never seen him react like that. It's lucky we all left unharmed.<br />Love the hugging animals.<br />Donkeys are wonderful, as I found out from reading "Running with Sherman: A Donkey with the Heart of a Hero." I loved this book and the donkey in it who goes from being an abused, ill, neglected creature into a happy, loved, active donkey with the nurturing of a wonderful family and other donkey friends.Kathy D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18418720666849497808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-8728686583801239692020-06-27T14:45:51.173-07:002020-06-27T14:45:51.173-07:00I do, too.I do, too.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01774383554326288663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-62767489307107041332020-06-27T14:45:42.150-07:002020-06-27T14:45:42.150-07:00I remembered that you like Susie Steiner's Man...I remembered that you like Susie Steiner's Manon Bradshaw books, so that gave me extra incentive to post that link.<br /><br />You and I see diversity the same way, Kathy.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01774383554326288663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-84190602448363456582020-06-26T18:38:00.890-07:002020-06-26T18:38:00.890-07:00And I love all of the young protesters from all co...And I love all of the young protesters from all communities out there day after day.Kathy D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18418720666849497808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-91283582930281662122020-06-26T18:36:31.124-07:002020-06-26T18:36:31.124-07:00You were adorable!

I love her Manon Bradshaw books, ready to be opened as soon as I finish V.I. Warshaw's adventures in Kansas and Chicago.<br /><br />I will come back and read many more links, which I enjoy and appreciate.<br /><br />I think I said a library branch across town will open part-time on July 13. They still don't have The Lantern Men (Drat!). but apparently I can read the Overdrive books on my laptop.<br /><br />So much to read and I have a grant proposal (with budgets) to write right now.<br /><br />And you are right about diversity. Why do some white people feel they are giving something up,losing privilege. I never saw it that way. It's a world to gain to meet and learn about people, to develop friendships learn how other people feel and about their lives and to support their struggles for equality and justice. And it's about love, too, although kind of corny. It's about broadening one's own love for humanity and opening up to the world.Kathy D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18418720666849497808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-72721919369945254862020-06-26T13:58:05.056-07:002020-06-26T13:58:05.056-07:00You're welcome!You're welcome!Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01774383554326288663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-73044144783260996592020-06-26T13:57:47.095-07:002020-06-26T13:57:47.095-07:00I knew that village would tempt you!I knew that village would tempt you!Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01774383554326288663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-39330217689842109822020-06-26T11:51:07.573-07:002020-06-26T11:51:07.573-07:00Love that photo!
