- [How we spent our final days in Havana, Cuba](https://kathleenkern.net/travel/our-final-days-in-havana-cuba/) - During our final days in Havana, we were quite busy. The title was already long and would have been unmanageable if I included everything we did.
- [Visit to Jose Martí's Natal Home Plus....](https://kathleenkern.net/travel/visit-to-jose-martis-natal-home-plus/) - On January 31, we visited Jose Marti's childhood home, bought some artisanias, went to a good restaurant and some concerts.
- [The Martin Luther King Center and Ebenezer Baptist Church](https://kathleenkern.net/travel/the-martin-luther-king-center-and-ebenezer-baptist-church/) - January 27, 2027 The previous night, we all went out with Danielle to something resembling a diner with Cuban food. Think Denny's with less decor. I just wanted something cold to drink. "Suero helado" was an item on the menu. We all knew the second word meant ice cream, but even Camila, a native Colombian
- [Good times in Viñales and Havana](https://kathleenkern.net/travel/good-times-in-vinales-and-havana/) - Kathleen - Kern - https://kathleenkern.net/travel/good-times-in-vinales-and-havana/ - April 3, 2025 - Good times in Viñales and Havana -
- [Walking Around and Seeing Stuff That Makes Cuba Cuba](https://kathleenkern.net/travel/walking-around-and-seeing-stuff-that-makes-cuba-cuba/) - One of the nicest places to walk in Cuba is the Malecon, a five-mile seawall constructed around the Havana Harbor. I'm glad that nine years ago I didn't know that the U.S. built it after Spain ceded its colonial power over Cuba to U.S. colonial power. We picked a lovely day for the walk.
- [Havana's Jewish and Afro-Cuban communities Hotel Nacional, and Danielle's performance](https://kathleenkern.net/travel/havanas-jewish-and-afro-cuban-communities-hotel-nacional-and-danielles-performance/) - #post_excerptIn which we visit Havana's Jewish and Afro-Cuban communities, Hotel Nacional, and attend Danielle's performance at the Havana Jazz Festival.
- [The Presidential Palace/Museum of the Revolution and La Colmenita](https://kathleenkern.net/travel/the-national-palace-and-la-colmenita/) - On January 26, 2025, the author explores Havana, focusing on its vibrant arts scene, the historical significance of resistance, and the impact of political regimes. The narrative contrasts past and present hardships, highlighting cultural pride and the legacy of figures like José Martí. A visit to La Colmenita children's theater showcases local talent and community spirit.
- [Cuba trip 2025](https://kathleenkern.net/travel/cuba-trip-2025/) - The author recounts a trip to Cuba, reminiscing about a previous visit and the motivations for returning, including attending the Havana Jazz Festival. They reflect on personal experiences, interactions with friends, and cultural landmarks, particularly the significance of La Floridita bar, famous for its association with Hemingway and lively music scene.
- [Visit to Attica State Prison aka "Correctional Facility"](https://kathleenkern.net/kathleen-kern-author/visit-to-attica-prison-aka-correctional-facility/) - A female guard informed me that my shirt was too revealing, and I would have to go to a dollar store and buy something else. I said I could zip up the vest I was wearing, but she told me I could not be trusted to do that while I was in the visiting room.
- [Chilean Street Art, Valparaiso, and Back to Rochester](https://kathleenkern.net/travel/chilean-street-art-valparaiso-and-back-to-rochester/) - s I write, we are halfway through June. I have been looking for a job and attending to the garden. When I reflect back on the trip this spring, I would say, my favorite part of the trip was visiting friends. Learning the histories of these countries also left me with the conviction to never take democracy for granted. There are no cruelties that human beings will ultimately refuse to do, and they will always be thousands of people who will support the government engaging in these cruelties, as long as they are living, comfortable lives.
- [Three Museums, Constitution Plaza, and Interesting Chilean Drinks](https://kathleenkern.net/travel/three-museums-constitution-plaza-and-interesting-chilean-drinks/) - On March 9-10, we made three short to very short visits to three more museums, the Gabriela Mistral Education Museum, which we visited on the afternoon after our visit to the Memory Museum, the Pre-Columbian Art museum, and Pablo Neruda's House.
- [Museum of Memory in Santiago](https://kathleenkern.net/travel/museum-of-memory-in-santiago/) - The Museum of Memory in Chile had its own style, just like the museums in Uruguay and Argentina had their own style. Like Argentina's museum, it is designed professionally, and makes the "disappeared" reappear. I think Chile's museum tries to tell a story. How did this happen? What happened? Who made it happen? Who stopped it from happening.
- [Decompressing with Tuti in Lujan de Cuyo](https://kathleenkern.net/travel/decompressing-with-tuti-in-lujan-de-cuyo/) - We spent a wonderful two days with Michael's friend Tuti, near Mendoza, Argentina, and I wish we had spent more.
- [ESMA Museum and Site of Memory](https://kathleenkern.net/travel/esma-museum-and-site-of-memory/) - I think if the museum has a central theme it is to "undisappear" people. The dictatorship sought to sow terror among the population by making people disappear—and it considered them disposable, worth less than animals. The museum puts their faces everywhere, and includes their thumbnail histories to bring them back to life.
- [First Two Days in Buenos Aires](https://kathleenkern.net/travel/first-two-days-in-buenos-aires/) - We visited the Jewish Museum in Buenos Aires and the famous Plaza de Mayo.

A dedicated socialist and an exile from the Uruguayan dictatorship she wanted to experience the socialism as practiced by the kibbutz movement in Israel. She later returned to Uruguay for various reasons and abhors the current state of Israeli politics. Our first day after
- [Days in Medellin before the wedding](https://kathleenkern.net/kathleen-kern-author/uncategorized/days-in-medellin-before-the-wedding/) - February 21, 2024 Have I mentioned yet that Michael’s daughter Beth got married on February 24 in Medellin and that was the whole reason for our South America trip? Well, now you know. Michael and I left for Medellin on the morning of February 21. For lunch, we ate at Champi, a few blocks from
- [Good and Bad Fruit; Excellent people](https://kathleenkern.net/kathleen-kern-author/uncategorized/good-and-bad-fruit-excellent-people/) - February 20, 2024 The new fruit of the morning was pitaya, a mild flavored fruit. Wikipedia says it’s the same as dragon fruit, but most of the dragon fruit I’ve eaten is almost tasteless. (I had a yellow version at the hotel in Medellin on Feb. 22, and it was more flavorful.) After breakfast we
- [Last Day in Bogotá](https://kathleenkern.net/travel/last-day-in-bogota/) - Good-bye to Camila The picture I had of Camila for our final day together, didn't really express who she was. So I took something from a webpage describing her what she does. Her current work is with Resuena, an organization "set out on a dream to expand the access to Nonviolent Communication in Colombia so that
- [Back to  Bogotá](https://kathleenkern.net/travel/back-to-bogota/) - And a graffiti tour Our guide Camilo told us this artist is famous for painting animals in apocalyptic situations Returning to Camila’s place gave me a chance to rest my knee—which I did the day after a graffiti tour of Bogota with a young man from a tour company run by Camila’s friend. His name
- [We’re in Bogota](https://kathleenkern.net/kathleen-kern-author/uncategorized/were-in-bogota/) - And it’s as cool as I remember it. February 19, 2024 Michael and I got to the airport by three to catch a 5:00 flight yesterday morning, so we were tired when we arrived at our friend Camila’s beautiful apartment around 7:30 in the evening, but we enjoyed catching up a little. Camila generously offered
- [The wedding!](https://kathleenkern.net/kathleen-kern-author/uncategorized/the-wedding/) - I’d say something about these crazy kids who are so in love, but they spent the past year meticulously planning this event.

Storer College was establishedfor Black students in the 19th century. Catoctin Furnace The next day, February 19, we stopped in Maryland to see the Catoctin furnace, where excavators had recently uncovered the graveyard of enslaved people who worked in the furnace. Harpers Ferry After

- [Our Great Southern Civil Rights/Visiting Friends Tour IV](https://kathleenkern.net/kathleen-kern-author/uncategorized/our-great-southern-civil-rights-visiting-friends-tour-iv/) - Montgomery and Selma We could easily have spent a week in Montgomery, Alabama and the area around it, but we decided to focus on the Legacy Museum and the Memorial for Peace and Justice (aka "The Lynching Museum.") Like others who have visited, we had trouble finding the words to describe the museum. The designers
- [Our Great Southern Civil Rights/Visiting Friends Tour, Part V](https://kathleenkern.net/kathleen-kern-author/uncategorized/our-great-southern-civil-rights-visiting-friends-tour-part-v/) - One last stop in Georgia, then all around Florida After Montgomery, we headed to Lake City, FL for some downtime with my college friends Paula and Mark, but we decided to do a quick stop in Albany (pronounced al-BAENY), GA on the way. Using a willingness to face mass arrest, the Albany Movement had the

We knew that Jacksonville had plenty of Civil Rights history, but we basically did a drive-by shooting of the James Weldon Johnson Park. He was the author of Lift Every Voice and Sing. Below was the
- [Our Great Southern Civil Rights/Visiting Friends Tour, Part IV](https://kathleenkern.net/kathleen-kern-author/uncategorized/our-great-southern-civil-rights-visiting-friends-tour-part-iv/) - Atlanta—February 26, 2020 From Clemson, we drove to Atlanta, where we stayed with our friend Billie and spent a couple of dinners visiting with her daughter Stephanie. We did not see all the Civil Rights History-related sites in Atlanta; that would have taken a week. But we figured learning what it was like for Billie
- [Our Great Southern Civil Rights/Visiting Friends Tour, Part III](https://kathleenkern.net/kathleen-kern-author/uncategorized/our-great-southern-civil-rights-visiting-friends-tour-part-iii-2/) - We thought we were here for the friends but if you look past all the football paraphernalia stores, you see people working for civil rights and the restoration of history. When we visited our friends Peter and Jane in Clemson, SC, we assumed the visit would be heavy on the friends part of the tour
- [Our Great Southern Civil Rights/Visiting Friends Tour So Far](https://kathleenkern.net/human-rights/our-great-southern-civil-rights-visiting-friends-tour-so-far/) - A couple of years ago, after noticing we had a critical mass of friends who had moved to the south, Michael and I talked about taking a long vacation. We would visit historic Civil Rights locations while visiting these friends.
- [Annotated Bibliography of the Israeli Palestinian conflict](https://kathleenkern.net/human-rights/annotated-bibliography-of-the-israeli-palestinian-conflict/) - This is a bit dated, since I haven't been able to read normal size print without pain since about 2000, but I thought it was still worthwhile as a reference. The un-annotated works are mostly sources from Dr. Jane Adas. It also chronicles my own growth--I'm a bit embarrassed by the naivete of expressed in
- [Hitler, too, was a dissident](https://kathleenkern.net/kathleen-kern-author/hitler-too-was-a-dissident/) - media need to grow up. Journalists can be fascists. People resisting authoritarian governments can also be fascists or willing to work with fascists. And just because people oppose authoritarian regimes does not mean they are pro-Democracy.
- [Blood Libel, Gaza, and Abraham Foxman](https://kathleenkern.net/kathleen-kern-author/blood-libel-gaza-and-abraham-foxman/) - Blood Libel, by definition, is false. No one ever produced evidence that the thousands of lynched and massacred European Jews murdered a Christian child, crucified a Christian child, and used their blood in matzoh…Mr. Foxman, these children were not a falsehood. When Israeli bombs fell on their homes, their suffering and their deaths happened.
- [In this sub-season](https://kathleenkern.net/kathleen-kern-author/uncategorized/in-this-sub-season/) - In this sub-season when snow retreats, revealing fecal gashes snowplows leave in lawns my neighbors—yearning for perfection—poison

Breitbart, VDare, Daily Caller, Gab, 4Chan, 8Chan, DLive,

(Turns out, a lot.) Republicans, Democrats, and the establishment Jewish organizations
- [The loyal opposition](https://kathleenkern.net/kathleen-kern-author/the-loyal-opposition/) - This morning on NPR, I heard a Republican commentator say our government works best with a “loyal opposition.” He was referring to those of his party who did not support overthrowing the most recent election results. That, I thought, is a low bar. Members of this loyal opposition have had no problem with disenfranchising people

I checked for online- readership of the The Independent and came up with 21 million a
- [Here’s another passive-aggressive box of English Leather cologne products, Dad](https://kathleenkern.net/kathleen-kern-author/heres-another-passive-aggressive-box-of-english-leather-cologne-products-dad/) - Which gift box will it be this year? Should I choose the one with the cowboy on the front? Why would they put a cowboy on a box of English Leather? Why not show someone riding English style—as opposed to Western style, in which you break a horse rather than train it. Just like you tried to break my spirit when you sent me to fat camp, Dad. But Patches didn’t body shame me; we rode like the wind.

Although I was disappointed that more adult literary writers did not attend, much of what I learned was helpful to any writer about representing worlds—fantasy, Sci-Fi or real life—accurately. In order to write accurate representation of the world around us, having actual relationships with people

The prize has since morphed into the PEN/Bellwether Prize for Socially Engaged Fiction. That, dear reader, is the fiction that I write. So far, it is the only fiction that I

Every month since that time, I have written a column about countries on five different continents. I think doing so made me a better writer. I found

Working for a human rights organization gives one an altruistic sheen, not always deserved, or not completely anyway. Most human rights workers, honest ones, will readily come up with a list of less altruistic reasons they do the

One of the things that came clear to me during my sabbatical was the importance of seeing my mother as much as possible as she slips away, before she no longer recognizes me. (A nurse at the green house home in Bluffton told

Like other U.S. first graders of my generation, I learned to read on the Dick and Jane series, and I enjoyed learning to read, but I remembered thinking that Jane was kind of useless. She would drop a sack of flour on the floor

My novel’s narrator is a sexist jerk!](https://kathleenkern.net/kathleen-kern-author/help-my-novels-narrator-is-a-sexist-jerk/) - If you have read my previous postings, you know that my novel, Shea, switches the gender roles in the biblical narrative about the prophet Hosea and his wife, Gomer the prostitute. Instead of having three children by other men, my main first person POV character, Islam Goldberg-Jones (Iz) has three increasingly heart-breaking affairs. (Actually, upon

These Israelis took for granted that the reports of abuses we witnessed Israeli soldiers and settlers inflicting on the Palestinian residents in the Hebron area were accurate. They had witnessed similar abuses

One of the regular readers and cheerers-on of my
- [Diary of Ralph](https://kathleenkern.net/kathleen-kern-author/165/) - I've finished Ralph's diary and have interspersed his entries between the heavier prophetic writings of my character Shea, the Hosea figure in my novel. I think Ralph's diary entries serve a dual purpose. They'll help break up those denser sections and they'll give another view of my narrator, Iz, and possibly make him less "static"
