<HTML><FONT FACE=arial,helvetica><FONT SIZE=2>Dear Sally Gabb,
<BR> I would dearly love to participate in the COABE roundtable on racism at your upcoming conference, but I am not able to do so. If you see Peter Waite, Mark Cass or Jane Hugo of Laubach Literacy (now ProLiteracy), please ask them to tell you about how they (and we) have been raising issues of race and racism within the literacy community. It's quite a journey!
<BR> We will be holding a 1-1/2 day preconference on "literacy and racism" in May/June at the LLA/LVA national conference. If you could spread the word among COABE members, that would be great! Preconference is May 28/29. Thank you!
<BR> Margery
