I had something come up in my Instagram feed that immediately reminded me of an incident of overstepping boundaries that occurred last year in my life; Christian vs Non-Christian. It was quite disconcerting, but I imagine for reasons other than what this IG person would be able to relate to.
Let's discuss, shall we?

This was the third of the four lectures that I'll be attending this month in honour of Black History Month. This lecture was being held at the African American Military History Museum downtown, which is located in the former African American WWII USO. My sister didn't have work, so she could attend this one with me. I sort of knew about rationing, but the lecture was really informative. There was also rationed sweets sampling, which the recipes came from a 1943 rationing cookbook!
This post is a last minute addition, so to speak. In regards to the documentary and talk, it was put up after the other lectures so it wasn't originally part of my itinerary. Also, there was a lecture last March that I neglected to ever write about, which does happen. I was trying to go through Bicentennial Bingo, and didn't even get half-way through it, which is just one of many examples. So, I will be combining both events on Kennard into one post, though I will try not to make it too long.

Our local library and The African American Military History Museum have partnered together for special lectures during Black History Month. Some are for children only (which is sad because I would have wanted to attend), but there are four lectures that I plan on attending.
The first was this one was on Monday night. Camp Van Dorn, World War II Mobilization, and Black Troops in the Deep South by Charles Bolton. I'd never heard of Camp Van Dorn, though apparently I should have. But I am interested in learning, interested in military history, and interested in histories of many peoples including African Americans. So, of course I would be interested in this. Though, I can't embed it, I watched a PBS Origin of Everything video today about Baby Gender Roles: Why boys wear blue and girls wear pink.
It was a fascinating watch, even if I do agree with one commenter that the videos are a little redundant. I watched one about Halloween Candy last year and found it repetitive and too long. So, their videos, I think could be more concise, but it's good information. So, I get magazines for free sometimes. Currently I'm at the end of a free subscription to Woman's Day and the March issue arrived today. I generally get these magazines for any interesting recipes and also as resources for my collage making.
This time though there was a very short write-up that I did read and rather enjoyed about memories. I couldn't find it online, so I've typed it out here, under the cut. Girl Scouting was a really big part of my early life. So, when I stumbled upon an article today supplied by our local article today about the subject of scouting, I found that I had mixed feelings on the subject. (I'm the girl in the orange shirt during one of our troop ceremonies.)
