back after a while



Tomorrow I leave for the field experience part of the Civil Rights immersion class which I instructed this semester. Please say prayers for us while we are gone. We will be exploring the heritage of modern and historic civil rights in the South from May 8-28.

I won't be blogging during that time but you can check out our Civil Rights Plunge blog.
