Some good news:
A young (Only 15 years old!) black girl has been accepted at Harvard! Bright girl. Reminds me of a story in Talmud....
Bad News:
Old history. After Haiti got its independence from France -the first (or one of the first) black nation to do so in the western hemisphere, France charged Haiti for reparations -for loss of potential slave work!
The Ugly News:
Haiti paid.

Shalom Miriam,
Did you see her picture?She was a Muslim of African origins(at least that's where her parents were from) and she was wearing a hijab!
yes, I did.
she's black though, no? Did I get that wrong?
Was it oil money at work there?
explain explain...
No,I don't think so.She's just an excepionally bright young lady who was able to attend a exclusive prep school and got in on her own merit.
If her parents are rich Nigerians,who immigrated to the US,then more power to them!
Yes. news worth repeating!
