[NLA] COABE plantation tour

[Wrdwhiz@aol.com]

I would be most eager to participate in a flyer or more expansive project.  
It's part of my life's work (in progress) and the basis for numerous artistic 
endeavors as well as civic and social preoccupations of mine.  Here is one 
link to a good article I found online, which could be a beginning basis:   <A HREF="http://www.spokanehumanrights.org//ccrr/packet/article.htm">
White Privilege Article</A> 

Too many people who are "outside" of the immediate effects of being one of 
the "others" within white European-ruled societies are too unaware (I would 
hate to think they are apathetic) to let this all continue passively.  I am 
so please to see people within this listserv with common aspirations and 
objectives regarding this issue.
