I noticed on September 4, 2011 this op-ed piece made it to 8th on the list of most e-mailed articles from The New York Times. I usually hesitate to point out op-ed pieces to students as they are "opinion" pieces, but I did not with this article.

What we do have going on is some nod to racial inequalities "of the past." I went to see the movie The Help (and not when it was first released), and it was a packed theater. The Association of Black Women Historians provides a useful critique of this film:
