I was going to wait to write this up until I got home. The conference ended on Saturday and it's now Monday afternoon and we're still in St. Louis due to the east coast blizzard. Right now we're booked on a flight home for Wednesday morning but I think there's more snow expected then so we'll see. As to the keynotes, well two keynotes and one panel, they were all solid and thought or maybe better, discussion provoking.

Time for another SIGCSE - the big Computer Science Education conference. This time in St. Louis. St. Louis Arch This is something like my 10th SIGCSE and the fourth I've attended with my daughter who's in her first year as a grad student, pursuing her PhD in CS with a focus on education. At this point, I think she knows more people here than I do. Actually, that was something I was thinking about.

History is a funny thing. They say it's written by the victors but even when the "good guys" win, the history taught is often, let's say, incomplete. Back in school we'd learn about all sorts of feel good American equality stuff but how many learned about Black Wall Street and the Tusla Race Massacre? I've knew about the Green Book and Sundown Towns years before the "Green Book" movie and was shocked when I did learn about the towns, how recently they've existed and how many existed up up north.
