...informing their children about black issues. "They would say, 'My God, not every dinner conversation has to be about black history,'" says Simon.

...better technique: tons of supercute poor kids. A day before we hit the offices of almost 200 congressional members, we sat through an afternoon of PowerPoint-filled workshops at the Grand Hyatt Washington hotel to learn lots of stats. These all seemed boring, so I suggested we dress the kids up like street urchins from a Dickens novel and give them dented tin cups...
