I just had a chance to give your recent entries a thorough, thoughtful look. Thank you for doing such great posts. Huda has taken the lead, here, by composing a response to an Oral History. And it is a pleasure to read. Every time that you respond or create a post, you get 5 points journal credit (it adds up, my friends). The Oral Histories (whether given to me in class or posted here) were worth 20 points. Please keep adding information; it also helps to follow up on conversations we've been having in class.
