In 5th grade, my mom signed me up for the Urban League summer camp because her good friend’s daughter was attending. On the first day, I found out that I was the only white participant. During the month of camp, we sang the Black National Anthem, practiced Step Dancing, and learned about historical figures like [...]
The sun had already begun to dip below the horizon when Sarah finally came to a halt. Averil let out a sigh of relief; they had been walking for what seemed like hours. Sarah had insisted on taking her all throughout the city, and now Averil was sure she had seen every busy road and [...]
The city was aglow. Well, not really. Crawford wasn’t exactly a city and it wasn’t exactly aglow. Perhaps the town was a-smolder, or the village a-blush, or maybe even— Anyhow, the “city” was “aglow” and the people were bustling.

However, Tucson has character: we have caves, eegees, an excess of saguaros (only in the Sonora desert, I might add).

When you look around our school campus, you’ll no doubt see trash, cracked walls, maybe some vandalism, and–oh the horror!–pigeon droppings. No big deal right? So what if you stepped on some gum?
