At first glance Avery Klein-Cloud seems average. She’s a high school track star from Brooklyn who’s preparing to attend college. But her family is a diverse one; white Jewish lesbian parents, an older brother who is black and Puerto Rican and a younger brother who is Korean-American. Avery was adopted, and so were her brothers. “Off and Running” is a brilliant documentary that follows Avery during her difficult quest to connect with her birth mother and learn more about her roots.

So, it’s finally time to escape your parent’s nest and get your first real taste of adulthood in college. Being on campus, you will meet people from all over the world. You also will be able to take part in school spirit through various activities, clubs and events. But something else you will notice – and I don’t blame you – are all the new guys. The older ones especially have a glow of maturity that you probably didn’t see in high school boys. But let’s be honest, everything that’s new isn’t always good. Before you jump into a relationship during your first semester of college, here are a few things to consider.
I am so, so sorry that I have not blogged in a while. I have been busy, and since I moved, I’ve had no internet. In my last blog I talked about my car trouble. Right after writing about that, my troubles got worse. It took five whole days past my move in day to figure out what was wrong with my car and get it fixed. By the way, it was bad gas. I had to buy a new battery and fuel filter plus handle labor work costs. I am still broke from it, and I am now looking forward to this lovely refund check I am supposed to receive any day now 
On this day in 1963, the March on Washington took place. Over 250,000 participants walked down Constitution and Independence avenues in Washington, D.C. and gathered before the Lincoln Monument for speeches (most notably Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have A Dream” speech), songs, and prayer. The peaceful march was held to promote civil rights and economic quality for all African Americans. Forty-seven years later today, civil rights and progressive organizations will hold a rally at Dunbar Senior High School in Washington, D.C. and march to the site of the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial on the National Mall to commemorate the anniversary of the historic March on Washington.
