Teaching Tolerance has named 52 schools from across the country as Mix It Up Model Schools. They were chosen for their exemplary efforts to foster respect and understanding among their students and throughout their campuses during the 2010-11 school year.

Singer, actor and activist Nick LaTour died Monday.

To many children in Alabama and across the country, LaTour was a consummate storyteller who was able to bring the civil rights movement to life. People who heard him sing will forever be touched by his baritone renditions of spirituals or civil rights anthems.
