We trust your weekend went well and hope that the coming week is even better. As the Thanksgiving Holiday approaches, we want to sincerely thank you all for your interest and support for the past 2 years. The Black Scholars Index has grown in so many directions and has viewers all over the globe, with hundreds of hits per day. We truly enjoy serving you and introducing scholars and their work on a regular basis and from the number of supporters we have, we can tell you all are enjoying the process as much as we do.
Please continue to spread the daily features throughout your friend and other personal networks. And as you prepare your end of year giving, please consider giving to Uplift, Inc. - the 501c3 nonprofit which powers The Black Scholars Index. Your donations are tax deductible and would go towards helping an amazing organization as they "help communities Reach Higher" -
