...What Can I Do?" [May 17]: in an Afro-American history class I have learned what really took place in this democratic U.S. 100 years ago that I was not taught in high school or college. While the people of this country are paying homage to such men as Lincoln, Washington, Jefferson and Patrick Henry, they would do well to honor Stevens, Frederick Douglass, Harriet Tubman, William Lloyd Garrison and Denmark Vesey. The greatest personal commitment one can make to himself today is "Learn, Baby, Learn...

WASHINGTON, D.C., May 15 -- West Potomac Park, where they set up "Resurrection City USA," is right next to the Reflecting Pool, which stretches between the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument. The Reflecting Pool is very deceptive. It looks calm and deep and beautiful. But actually it is only two feet deep. Three or four times a year, maintenance men from the U.S. Park Service drain the pool and pick up the garbage on the bottom. Then you can see that it is only two feet deep.
