[Sherry Claiborne]

Thanks to all that have participated in the Plantation Tour discussion for the COABE conference.  The list serv is the perfect place to raise consciousness and have   a discussion to stregthen our field. As President of the Commission on Adult Basic Educaton and after having a discussion with the SC conference  planners,  we would like to apologize for appearing insensitive.  This was not our intent.  We regret that the narrative has caused any ill  feelings and have made the decision to cancel this optional tour.  We are also working to have an open discussion at the conference .  We will let you know as soon as to the place and time. . We look forward to seeing you at the conference in Charleston and please know that we are always open for discussion that will strengthen and unite our profession.            Sherrie Claiborne, COABE President
