I posted the following on my Facebook page and felt that it would fit right at home here as well.

January, new beginnings, getting organized, yada yada: Was doing some "superficial" cleaning of one of my email "closets" (remember-I throw away virtually nothing online or off), and came across emails between me and a blogger named Tamika Strong. In them, she asked for advice, and sought permission to use her notes from a webinar I gave in a blog post, and more. I never looked at the post until now. She did a great job. Genealogists, start your new year with a reminder to harness the power of African American newspapers.
