PHOTO OF THE WEEK: 21 May 2012
A Karamojong girl runs to class...</title><description>&lt;img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4dr2vKneE1qbnugoo1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;PHOTO OF THE WEEK: 21 May 2012&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A Karamojong girl runs to class in Naitakwaé Town.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Free primary education has raised enrolment rates to 83 per cent in Uganda. Still, children – especially girls – of the semi-nomadic pastoralist Karamojongs face additional barriers to education; less than 40 per cent of the community’s children attend school. A UNICEF-supported non-formal educational model, sensitive to Karamojong culture, is helping to boost enrolment.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Rep. Eleanor Holmes Norton of D.C. received 89 percent of the vote in her last election, yet anti-choice lawmakers refused to allow her to testify on a bill that specifically targets women in D.C. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;This is another Sandra Fluke moment.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Oh, look, DC women being used as a political pawn by fucking assholes WHO DON’T LIVE HERE.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I PAY MY FUCKING TAXES, I WANT MY FUCKING REPRESENTATION. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I love Mrs.Norton. I vote for her every time she’s up for election. She loves DC. Rep. Norton IS DC (born &amp; raised here). She works HARD for us, especially Poor Black women &amp; children. Congress treats her like shit and by extension, the rest of us too. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;-“Who taught you to hate the texture of your hair? Who taught you to hate the color of your skin, to such extent that you bleach to get like the white man? Who taught you to hate the shape of your nose, and the shape of your lips? Who taught you to hate &lt;em&gt;yourself&lt;/em&gt;, from the top of your head to the soles of your feet?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Who taught you to hate your own kind—who taught you to hate the race that you belong to, so much so that you don’t wanna be around each other? No, before you come around asking Mr. Muhammed does he teach hate, you should ask yourself: who taught you to hate being what God gave you?”-&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Malcolm&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt; X&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Street Art of the Day: A new Banksy has surfaced...</title><description>&lt;img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m42j0ts33z1qzpwi0o1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://tumblr.thedailywh.at/post/23103951239/street-art-of-the-day-a-new-banksy-has-surfaced" target="_blank"&gt;thedailywhat&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Street Art of the Day:&lt;/strong&gt; A new &lt;a href="http://thedailywh.at/?s=banksy" target="_blank"&gt;Banksy&lt;/a&gt; has surfaced on the wall of a &lt;a href="http://www.poundland.co.uk/" target="_blank"&gt;Poundland&lt;/a&gt; shop in London, and it depicts a child of Asian origin hard at work sewing Union Jack bunting. &lt;a class="hoverZoomLink" href="http://www.highsnobiety.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/banksy-child-labour-in-the-uk-2.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;(Embiggen)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Chances are, the location of the work is significant: In 2010, Poundland &lt;a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/the_queens_diamond_jubilee/9266505/Banksy-Diamond-Jubilee-graffiti-springs-up-overnight-on-London-street.html" target="_blank"&gt;launched an investigation&lt;/a&gt; after it was discovered that a 7-year-old boy was working 100 hours a week in an Indian sweatshop, producing items for the store. A spokeswoman said at the time: “Poundland does not tolerate child labor under any circumstances and will not work with companies that employ children.”&lt;/p&gt;
