co-director Julie Nelson

was recently quoted
[link removed]
in the Washington Post discussing Montgomery County's passage of a
wide-ranging racial equity bill. Julie calls The Racial Equity and
Social Justice Act, which will mandate racial equity training for more

's Can't Stop Won't Stop: A History of the Hip-Hop Generation was
recently listed
[link removed]
on Slate's "The 50 Best Nonfiction Books of the Past 25 Years". The
write-up highlights Jeff's coverage of the time, "Chang situates the
revolution in the political and social context of 20th-century New York
(and America): deeply racist, economically cruel, and ready to explode."

"I just finished reading Killing Commendatore by Haruki Murakam
[link removed]
i. It is the story of a portrait painter who discovers a painting that
opens up a series of questions, and challenges that take the painter on
a disturbing, twisting path back to himself. Murakami's writing
[link removed]
often explores the thin veil between dreams, reality, and a mysterious
plane that exists somewhere in between both."
