Aletheia Academy students got their 15 minutes..er, seconds, of fame this week. We went to visit the Ralph Mark Gilbert Civil Rights Museum, here in Savannah. We didn't even know if they'd be open with the new construction they've got going on, much less that they'd be filming a news spot at the time of our visit. We learned a lot on Friday's Field Trip- a lot about Civil Rights and about Savannah during that period in History. If there was anything for Savannah to take pride in during that time, it was her peaceful, riot-less status and her reputation, as Dr. Martin Luther King JR put it, "the most integrated city south of the Mason-Dixon." Our tour guide, Iman, was wonderful, as was Jason Davis, reporter for WJCL. I wasn't prepared to go on camera and I resisted the urge to primp and apply lip gloss when they requested a short interview...so don't laugh! They said I did just fine and I assured them that was only because hot air is one of my natural abilities :)
