Thank you to everyone who came to the opening reception of the "Digging In" exhibit in Dallas. It was wonderful to catch up with many of the subjects of this oral history and photography project as they saw their portraits displayed in this beautiful gallery and listened to their interview clips!
Opening panel for an oral history and photography exhibit "Digging In: How Food, Culture, and Class Shape the Story of Asian Dallas." People can be seen in the background mingling and viewing the exhibit. A chef stands in front of his portrait at the exhibit, pointing at it and smiling. A crowd of people in a gallery mingling and viewing the portraits on the wall. Photographer in green velvet suit and oral historian in white dress stand at the center of a long gallery of portraits, crouching and clasping hands as though perhaps arm wrestling.

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/16/opinion/ezra-klein-podcast-heather-mcghee.html It's a shocking tale. But it's too easily dismissed as yet one more story of America's racist past. McGhee shows otherwise. Drained-pool politics are still with us today and shaping issues of far more consequence than pool access. Drained-pool politics - if "they" can also have it, then no one can - helps explain why America still doesn't have a truly universal health care system, a child care system, a decent social safety net. McGhee, the former president of the think tank Demos, offers a devastating tour of American public policy, and she shows how drained-pool politics have led to less for everyone, not just their intended targets.

I am a Government teacher and this is the dream…I am patiently waiting for one of my former students to become internationally famous and tell the world they remember something I said! 🙏🏼
Last year Cardi also demonstrated her history_ prowess during an episode of "Hot Ones." The rapper shared her deep interest in the lives of FDR and his wife Eleanor. Cardi previously praised Hill in 2018 after she returned to her old school for a visit. "I know that she's strict, but every single day until this day of my life, Ms. Hill was always in my head," she told CBS News Sunday Morning.
