In New Mexico

Colorado was great. We spent most of the day in and around Taos and tonight I'm in Los Alamos. We'll meet up one last time tomorrow in Santa Fe. It's finally cold - too bad it's been too dry to have snow-capped mountains.

Here's the readings list I put together for a student this spring who wanted to work on voting rights/civil rights:

Format of Reviews:

Use Turabian Bibliographic Citations at the top of each review.
