Letter
of Anticipation for the 2005 Calendar
James Williams
called my college office to say that the new year's calendar
is ready for distribution, &, as last year, I'm very happy
to support his effort. As a community college history instructor,
I can readily affirm the educational value of James' work,
& will most certainly push my students to consider purchase.
For me, the heart of James' enterprise is his gallant labor
of love, proving beyond all doubt that for informed Americans,
every month of every year is "Black History Month".
Challenging the still lingering notion that Black Culture
& its monumental achievements is somehow only an occasional
"footnote" to an otherwise vibrant national culture
remains an important educational task, one that James has
undertaken with resourcefulness & resolve. We at Los Medanos
College are privileged to share in his passion, & in the
human learning he has helped create.
Very truly yours
Donald D. Kaiper, Ph.D.
