This cartoon tells us that America thought the white race was superior to everyone else, and that on the eve of World War II the mindset of America was terribly messed up.…

    Reading was something I was practically raised on as a child. My dad made sure that my younger sister and I were read to every single night before he tucked us in, passing down a tradition that he believed had aided in shaping his own childhood.

Yet books to me were journies completely separate from my own world and I could never seem to envision them as anything more than a source of entertainment.…
