Now Everyone is Talking About "The Great Debaters," but Global Debate Had It First

Every debate group imaginable is getting on "The Great Debaters" bandwagon. That is easy. It seems like a great movie with great stars and an inspiring story.

And it is nice that everyone now knows about it.

Regular readers of GLOBAL DEBATE http://globaldebateblog.blogspot.com/ would know all about it.

Stories from August 20, August 31, October 21 and December 6 have kept GLOBAL DEBATE readers informed.

I don't feel quite so comfortable blowing my own horn so often, but I could not resist it on this one.

A Pause for Travel

I am on my way to the other side of the world. I fly tomorrow to San Diego, then I head for Mexico until early next week. I need to work on my keynote speech for the World Universities Peace Invitational Debates in Malaysia. Then I will fly to Kuala Lumpur for the WUPID, which promises to be an exciting and inspirational event. I will report on the event as it happens.

After that I will do some vacationing in Southeast Asia. I hope to have internet, but one never knows. I will post stories when I can.

I will end up in Thailand where I will be reporting on the World Universities Debating Championship to be held at Assumption University in Bangkok. I should have lots of internet access there.

After that a bit more vacation and then back to the USA in January for the new school semester and back to the routine.

Be patient, and I will do my best to report on the news from the world of debate while on the move.

Thanks to those who read this. Visitation stats are starting to rise and I appreciate your visits.

Send me news of debate events where you are so I can promote them.

The next news will be from Mexico.
