#3GoodThings (students talking about what #Book or #Books, they want to focus on for their final papers; listening to them brainstorm, critique, really work & think hard as they develop an interpretation -- truly the best)

1. Remainder is one of my new favorite books.

2. I love The Sound and the Fury.

3. I want to go back to Beloved and write more about it.

“A #history professor who leads a course on genocide was instructed not to mention atrocities committed against Native Americans, according to several academy officials. The English department purged works by well-known Black authors, such as #ToniMorrison, #JamesBaldwin and #TaNehisiCoates, the officials said.”
