Elinson, Mark To the CCSS conference attendees who had planned to attend Friday morning's session entitled "Middle Eastern American in a Post 9/11 United States, we sincerely apologize for not being there to do our presentation. Our absence was due to circumstances beyond our control.

The focus of our presentation was to be the lessons that can be found on the website called Middle Easter American Resources Online.

This website can be reached at www.mearo.org. We had planned to look at the lessons under the section called "pre-collegiate." In this section of the website you will find primary materials and suggested activities that relate to discrimination against Middle Eastern Americans after 9/11. We hope you have a chance to look at this.

Should you have any questions, please contact Mark Elinson at melinson@earthlink.net
