splash!

Thanks to my good friend Shadra Strickland, I found a designer who was able to give me the splash page I've been wanting for months—you can check it out at www.zettaelliott.com. I decided on a splash page rather than a traditional website because I want to be able to control the content; I've got three blogs and a new book coming in March, and just wanted the splash page to direct people to the most accurate and up to date information on the web.

In other news, the BMCC Public Relations department did a great write-up of our recent trip to the African Burial Ground National Monument. The slideshow of photographs is fantastic, too. You can find the article and photos here. And if you haven't yet visited the monument, go NOW!

I had lunch with Angela Davis on Monday and need to write about that but a headache's been stalking me for days and I'm going to try to give it the slip by going to bed early. More later on Dr. Davis and my thoughts on being an "ethical professor"…
