One of the things that I, as a southerner, am excited about, is that the
fact that an African American and a woman are the top contenders for a
major party is not subject to a lot of commentary.

I'm hoping that this is a sign that we have turned a corner.

As I asked last week, after the Iowa results, I am wondering today,
after the New Hampshire results, if adult literacy learners and teachers
are talking to each other (whether in formal civics classes or in
informal hallway conversations) about the fact that a female and an
African American are top contenders in one of the party's election
results. Are learners engaged in this presidential election-are adult
literacy classes talking about the results?
