UMass Amherst is holding an edit-a-thon this year during OA Week (Thursday), after being approached by an ABD grad student. She found the state of coverage of African American dramatists to be deplorable (I agree) and wanted to do an edit-a-thon on the subject of underrepresented minorities and women in culture/arts. We're all pretty excited about doing it.
