  • Barry Svrluga and Robert E. Pierre's registration-required Washington Post article "Fading Image Of the Black Ballplayer: As Game Returns to D.C., Many African Americans Have Tuned Out Baseball"
  • Kathy Orton's registration-required special to the Washington Post "Black Female Coaches Few and Far Between"
  • "Bill Cosby's Not Funny," Deborah Solomon's registration-required New York Times sit-down with Michael Eric Dyson.
  • Nick Madigan's registration-required New York Times article "Africa Looks to Show Itself Off To U.S."

  • The Old Negro Space Program, which we missed last year but have been enjoying all week.
  • Genaro C. Armas' Associated Press (via Fort Worth Star-Telegram) article "Anglo men still far out-earn women, minorities" (whose data should be taken with a pinch of the Institute for Women's Policy Research's press release "African American Women Work More, Earn Less; New Census Data Show Economic and Educational Status of African American Women Still Lags Far Behind White Women")
  • Alison Bethel's Detroit News article "GOP woos blacks, but faces struggle" (whose mention of President Bush's meeting with the Congressional Black Caucus should be taken with Julian Bond's joke in Kelly Brewington's registration-required Baltimore Sun article "Direction of black churches unclear")
  • Michael A. Fletcher's registration-required Washington Post profile "Bush's Domestic Adviser Is 'a Jack of All Trades'"
  • Catherine Billey's registration-required New York Times article "A Big First Quarter for Films With African-American Casts" (with a nice follow-up in Greg Hernandez's Los Angeles Daily News article "Black films pulling larger crowds")
  • Angus Reid Consultants notes a poll by Alabama Education Association's Capital Survey Research Center that says a wide majority of Alabamans would be happy with a black governor. (Paging Charles Barkley.)
