laid out in the solar ovens on a barren field in
preparation for cooking.

No East or West: Black History Month and The United Methodist Church
I grew up in Haiti, a country where a person's
skin color did not determine whether
one "belongs." When I moved to the United States,
it was at first difficult for me to understand
the importance of Black History Month. In time I
understood why it was necessary to celebrate the
achievements of black people in a society where
higher education and political, economical, and
(I dare add) religious power are considered
entitlements for white people, the privileged
ethnic group.

was silent.

Unjust Immigration Policies a Hometown Issue for Women
United Methodist Women participants in the
April 24 lunch-break rally for immigration
rights during General Conference see the impact
of the unjust immigration policies each day in
their local communities. While the women's
opinions on the solution to immigration-related
problems differed, they were united on the need
to protect the human rights and dignity of new
immigrant communities in the United States.
