Thanks for linking to those letters.

I'm definitely going to send a note to MANAA.

I wrote my letter to MANAA last week, and of course I'm still getting good links back to that guest blog I wrote about this mess (which Colleen Doran was kind enough to RELINK to it on today's post so people could find it! Thanks!)

It's here, if you haven't seen it: What's Wrong With This Picture?

I wish I lived closer to LA to go to the next meeting. But I will certainly send another letter of support.

Thanks again to you and Colleen for that well-written article. I know her blog is getting a lot of traffic these days and the more people who are aware of the situation the better. I wonder if Colleen has had any time to watch ATLA yet.

I sent them an e-mail last Thursday as well. I think I'll send them another at some point, to thank them again and to let them know that they've got support from people of other non-white races. :D
