Once upon a time, before the GI Bill, college was for rich white men, with occasional exceptions. But since the mid 1940s, college enrollment has been steady rising. According to the US Department of Labor, nearly 70 percent of last year’s high school graduates were in college last fall. ...

Culture Making What did Michael Jackson (RIP) make of the world? With fear and trembling, our cultural artifact of the week. Add your thoughts at culture-making.com.

Culture Making Protests are the cultural artifact of the week. What do they make of the world? Add your thoughts at culture-making.com . . .
Source: www.culture-making.com
