The face of the African diaspora has emerged in downtown San Francisco. Composed of 2,700 individual images donated by members of the diaspora from around the world, the two-story-tall face of a young African child overlooking Mission and Third streets greets visitors to the newly completed Museum of the African Diaspora.
The museum, which showcases the culture and art of African peoples throughout history and the present day with interactive displays, exhibits, presentations and performances, plays upon the themes of origins, movement, adaptation and transformation.

An old woman dying in a small apartment surrounded by friends and family is an event not usually given a second thought by those not directly affected. But this woman was different: She changed the world.
After more than a decade of steadily declining health, Rosa Parks died on Oct. 24 of natural causes. She was 92 years old.

Explore a sea of new food
By Connie Chung
The most Asian thing about me is my eating habits. There is no question about it. Dinner is, and has always been, rice, vegetables, meat and fish. So when the idea of trying the Mediterranean diet came up, I was definitely up for a chance to break out of my routine.
The Mediterranean is a broad region of countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea, including Greece, Italy, France, Spain, Turkey, North Africa and the Middle East. The diet relies heavily on olive oil, seasonal fruits and vegetables and whole-grain bread.

May 17, 1954 In the case of Brown vs. Board of Education Kansas, the Supreme Court unanimously rules to end racial tolerance of segregation in schools. The 1896 separate but equal ruling of Plessy v. Ferguson is overturned because black students are not getting an equal education. In the ruling, chief justice Earl Warren wrote that some students were not getting the protection they deserved under the 14th Amendment. The decision begins a long process to enable all students to get an equal education. (http://college.hmco.com/history)
