Dear Diversity Institute,

The Commercial Appeal ran my project (developed at the Diversity Institute), or at least a version of it, along with a sidebar .

It was the first non-war related story to lead the front page since the war began. The angle is quite different from what it was in November.

Speaking of the war coverage, my involvement has been with writing for our “Call to Arms” series. We focused on a couple of deployed troops from our county every day.

Maria Bibbs, a graduate of the second Diversity Institute class, is a reporter at The Commercial Appeal, Memphis, Tenn.
