LIFT EV’RY VOICE AND SING: Here are several links with, as promised, cheerier stuff about black America. They go from most to least depressing. All are from City Journal… because I’m lazy.

“What’s Holding Blacks Back?”, by John McWhorter.

“Washington’s Lost Black Aristocracy,” by Tucker Carlson.

“Toward a Usable Black History,” by John McWhorter.

“Still Coming to Dinner” (on interracial marriage rates), by Matthew Robinson.

“A Whole Different Crop of Black Leaders,” by Tamar Jacoby.

Enjoy.
