| GREAT
PERFORMANCES: HARLEM IN MONTMARTRE |
"Harlem
in Montmartre" tells the story of those who left America to create the
jazz age in Paris between the First and Second World Wars. After peace
was signed at Versailles, many black Americans remained in Europe
rather than return to the brutal segregation and racism of America.
Over the next two decades, they formed an expatriate community of
musicians, entertainers and entrepreneurs, primarily congregating in
Paris’ hilly Montmartre neighborhood. Some achieved enduring
fame, while others faded into history.

| WHERE WE STAND:
AMERICA'S SCHOOLS IN THE 21ST CENTURY |
In
1995,
America’s college graduation rate was first in the world. Ten
years later, it ranked 15th. As so many nations around the world
continue to improve their systems of education, America can no longer
afford to maintain the status quo. In an ever-changing, increasingly
competitive global economy, is the U.S. doing all it can to prepare its
students to win jobs and maintain a robust economy?
