On the front lines of the culture war over Black history
WHEN IT CAME TIME FOR EMMITT GLYNN TO TEACH the lesson on the Black Panthers in his AP African American Studies class, he says he was overcome with \"fear\" walking into his classroom at Baton Rouge Magnet High School on Feb. 17-fear that what happened in the room would be misconstrued by the outside world.

5 ways to find the right therapist for you

"I tell friends that they should like talking to their therapist and feel like their therapist likes talking to them, because a strong relationship will generally lead to better outcomes," says Emily Maynard, a psychotherapist in California. But even after figuring out who's affordable and available, finding a provider who's the right fit for your personality and needs can take some work. Mental-health experts recommend casting a wide net, not getting discouraged, and taking advantage of the free 15-minute phone consultations that most practitioners offer to figure out if you'd like to work together.
