Birmingham talks about race in the NYT

Race seems to have captured the nation’s (and the world’s) attention recently. Our own Bob Farley recently shot some photos as part of a piece that is currently on The New York Times‘ website entitled, “Talk About Race? Relax, It’s O.K.“. His photo of Christophe Jackson, a Ph.D. candidate at UAB, was used for it and you can see it if you visit the site (and get by the registration if you need to).

I was interviewed by a member of France 24‘s team for a story that will run sometime in the near future. We’ll let you know when it’s up. Is the conversation getting easier?

The cardinal chicks fledged Wednesday afternoon. One minute they were perched on the nest the next they were in the trees and bushes. The young birds, if the survive the next few days, will be flying but still relying on their parents for food. Cardinals usually raise two sets of the chicks each year.
