Danielle N. Lee As soon as I'm done with my dissertation, I think I'll embark on a Breaking Color Barrier Tour. As I travel, for job interviews, conferences, etc, I will try to meetup with fellow Break CB bloggers and enthusists. I'm definitely headed to San Francisio - Outdoor Afro (March), near Madison, WI - Joy Trip Project (spri...ng -summer), Kansas City - Urban America Outdoor (spring-summer), maybe Hilton Head - Gullah Geeche Nation (summer family reunion). I'll be reaching out to people. Let me know if you're interested.
