Regina King tells her story

Preview – A Sentence for Two

Here is the link for The November Coalition - http://november.org/thewall/

The men’s stories and the women’s stories are listed separately (women’s on the first half of the page and men’s on the second half).  You can find each under the links for “Index of stories.”

Read at least 10 stories.  Take good notes so that you can explain details to your classmates – since it is unlikely that more than a few of you read the same story.
