Mothering/nurturing Is A Vital Force

I Was At The Smithsonian For Twenty Years, And I'm Still At The Smithsonian As A Curator Emeritus, And I Still Plan To Figure Out What That Means For Me At This Point In My Life

When I Started Graduate School I Was Interested In The Culture Of The Civil Rights Movement.

In Fact When Sweet Honey Was Ten Years Old It Was Too Big For Me To Run, And I Knew It, But I Ran It For Another Thirteen Years Because I Couldn't Convince Other People To Really Do It. And This Year, I'm Not Running It.

The First Job I Had With The Smithsonian Was As A Field Researcher Among African American Communities In Southwest Louisiana And Arkansas For The Festival.
