Dear Editor:
A friend gave me a copy of your July/August 2003 issue and I was very interested in your articles. I’ve been to the Gambia, Senegal, South Africa, Kenya, Ivory Coast, Ghana and Mali. What is the best way to visit the Himba people in Namibia? Laina Jones wrote on Peru and the towns of Chincha and Carmen, but she did not elaborate. I visited Chincha and had lunch in a mansion that had slavery memorabilia in the cellar. There was a cotton field in front of it. The Blacks I met were very friendly to me, a brother from the United States. I’d like to know what the experience was for Ms. Jones.

Dear Editor:
I am a first-time reader of The Network Journal and I would like to commend your publication's ability to blend the cultural aspects of the community into your business theme. I was particularly impressed with the article written by Ines Bebea about the Juneteenth Jubilee. It was wonderfully written and provided a refreshing change of pace. I am anxiously looking forward to your next issue as well as visiting this museum in my travels.

Dear Editor:
I came across your June issue and thought that overall your magazine is well written. Your articles offer a great starting block for people who may be interested in venturing out on their own to start their own companies. If you have dreams of succeeding in corporate America, the 40 Under-Forty individuals profiled serve as great role models for what you can do, although to have Black people with ties to corporations that are known to be the financiers of slavery is a little disheartening. If you can overlook the perpetuation of the legacy of slavery and the oppression of poor people by these corporations, then by all means these individuals are great role models. But I do commend you on being a Black-owned company.
