I am also a graduate student writing a dissertation on ant-color racism in public education. I would like to apply for the Bannerman Fellowship Program in hopes of a chance to have the opportunity for reflection and renewal. I have been working with students of color for 14 years and have never had a sabbatical. I would like to write on many related issues students face in "racist" school and world cultures through poetic forms, be they prose or poetry. The only reservation you might have which may disqualify me is your requirement that I not be 'white' whatever that means. I understand your advocacy, it is the same advocacy for a truer democracy. However, I am dedicated to the very same cause for true inner and outer peace. Therefore, I wish to be considered as a potential recipient. Thanks! Sincerely, William Carpenter 1579 43rd Avenue San Francisco, CA 94122 415-661-9601
