So, let's talk about 1976. At the time, I was in a "special needs" program at a school way bigger than the 2 room village schoolhouse I had been attending. The teachers at the new school encouraged all the students to write essays about the #AmericanRevolution -- the prize being a trip to Philadelphia to participate in the #Bicentennial. I managed to win the contest with a very graphic essay about #GeorgeWashington's troops in #ValleyForge (mentioning the possibility of #cannibalism -- one of my obsessions at the time, along with Zombies). Anyhow, in order to participate in the parade, we had to dress in period clothes. I *insisted* on having a boy-man's uniform (which I made in a very public interview with the local press), and I got my way! And marched with the boys/men, with the fife and drum squad and flag bearers (I played the flute). Unfortunately, I was there by myself, with no family to take photos of me. But here's a photo of the group I was part of. And bonus... I got to spend the night at Valley Forge, telling my tales of Revolutionary cannibalism!

Gran Quivira is the largest of the three sites within the Salinas Pueblo Missions National Monument. It is located about 25 miles south of #Mountainair, #NewMexico. It preserves the ruins of a large pueblo, once known as Las Humanas, and two Spanish mission churches built by the Tompiro people.

Henry Melvill, Anglican priest, reflects on Simon of Cyrene, and abolition of slavery in British colonies. It’s just that Britain expended millions to ransom captives. Slavery is hostile to the spirit of the Gospel.
Others today say abolition took too many risks and costs.
How can you take risks and costs to end abuses to human dignity, which are hostile to the spirit of the Gospel?

Such fun talking with Apollo Papyrus about #NamingGotham & the #EnvironmentalJustice Chronicles. Learned a new word- Toponym (a place name, especially derived from a natural feature.)
Friendly reminder: If you read Naming Gotham, I would appreciate your Amazon/Goodreads/Barnes and Noble review
