   "Coming to live performances is always a thrill. Sometimes it is hard to know which is more exciting—being a child and seeing it all for the first time or being the adult who gets to show and explain everything to a youngster. There are so many different opportunities to enter and share the world of ballet. Unique programs, pre- and post performance activities, holiday special events, children’s books, and games—lots of online games. Ballet is just like sports. The more you go, the more you learn and enjoy."

5. -10-17-05 Katrina Leaves Two Tales of Recovery (USA Today)
   "Long before Hurricane Katrina came and went, much more than a drawbridge separated these two neighborhoods and their people. Color, class, misconceptions, fear — differences of the heart and mind, as much as the pocketbook, made these two places two very different 'New Orleans.' "
   
   "Now there are other differences. In Uptown, a booming ballet of bulldozers scoop up tree limbs and drywall as workmen in hardhats direct traffic. Homeowners have hired crews to clear out and sanitize houses. Smiles have returned, along with some optimism."

6. Parks, Gordon (Gale.com)
   "In 2002, at the age of 90, Gordon Parks received the Jackie Robinson Foundation Lifetime Achievement Award and was inducted into the International Photography Hall of Fame and Museum. These honors were only the two latest tributes bestowed on a man whose achievements in photography, literature, film, and ballet have earned him more than twenty doctorates and numerous awards. When asked why he undertook so many professions, Parks told Black Enterprise 'At first I wasn't sure that I had the talent, but I did know I had a fear of failure, and that fear compelled me to fight off anything that might abet it. I suffered evils, but without allowing them to rob me of the freedom to expand.' " 05-06
