Missouri Synod, Vixmom. Staunchly conservative, except for a few of us firebrands.
The paper is on Bob Cole, who wrote the first all-black musical, "A Trip to Coontown" and the song "Under the Bamboo Tree." It's about changing racial perceptions on stage, and some of it was quite revolutionary for its time. But as the last week has shown, some things have changed in this country and others have not. The allegations and verbal garbage flying about in the aftermath of the Trayvon Martin case have made this a lot thornier issue than I had wanted.
