I take every opportunity to pitch a story if it means simultaneously satisfying a personal interest.. Like art. In this case, Texas Southern University let me know about a new partnership with the Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington DC. It will mean educational opportunities and funding for outreach and other things. Luckily, TSU's University Museum was open on a Friday when I was given the go-ahead to do this piece.

4th grader aces STAAR test
I did a couple of stories on dismal STAAR test results across Texas before this one cropped up. A Fort Bend ISD mom emailed us about her son scoring a perfect 100 on the math portion. I thought it was a perfect counterbalance to all of the negative testing news. It didn't hurt that 4th grader Omar Kabalan was so cute and talkative. Photog Ralph Nickerson and I met Omar and his mother at the school where he's attending summer camp.
