The UN's International Year for People of African Descent

Get to know one of the most admirable contemporary initiatives of the United Nations, US State Department, and concerned members of civil society everywhere:

This fall during my work at Phelps Stokes, I am happy to be collaborating with the State Department, Inter-American Development Bank, Inter-American Dialogue, Washington Office on Latin America, and various civil society groups from Washington and abroad to spread the visibility and increase the educational impact of this effort.

And there's my food for thought for Thursday.
