Audrey & Frank Respond to Oprah’s Yosemite Campout
Audrey and Frank Peterman were unfamiliar with the National Park System until they took the road trip of a lifetime, driving 12,000 miles across the country. Hiking and camping in the Grand Canyon, Yellowstone and Yosemite National Parks, they saw only a handful of other African Americans. They became advocates for diversity in the National Parks and have become nationally recognized as experts on this issue.
My Most Exciting Find in Chicago was not a National Park!
Whenever we’re traveling to a new city, my first act is to check out what units of the National Park System (NPS) are nearby. The System preserves the 394 places that are considered most important to America’s identify, by virtue of natural beauty, historic significance or cultural uniqueness. With 156 under my belt, I’m always eager to add another, thereby expanding my understanding of America. As we prepared to drive from Atlanta to Chicago to visit Frank’s 92-year-old Aunt Eva last weekend, I checked my national park map but didn’t see any possibilities. I consoled myself that we might see one on the 715-mile drive. Driving on I-90E in downtown Chicago, we passed a sign for the DuSable Museum of African American History. “Who was that?” I asked Frank. “Oh, DuSable was the black guy who founded Chicago,” he responded casually. I swear, my world tilted on its axis.
The Bizarre World I Live In
I live in a bizarre “in-between” world. At the Aspen Institute/National Geographic Environment Forum in Aspen July 25-28, I saw and heard the world’s top climate, marine and atmospheric scientists say that unequivocally, we are heading over a cliff. They called for dramatic and immediate changes in Americans’ lifestyles and consumption patterns if we are to maintain any semblance of an environment that can support human life.

On Top of the World at Aspen Environment Forum
Our experience at the Aspen Environment Forum July 25-28 is almost too overwhelming to process. We still don’t know how we got invited, or who paid our expenses. Suffice it to say, the 300-plus people gathered there included some of the foremost thinkers in the world, at the top of their field in researching and...
Yosemite Evokes Heavenly Realms
Yosemite Invokes Heavenly RealmsHome » Yosemite Invokes Heavenly Realms Posted by Audrey in Other | Comments “. . .and I shall live in the House of the Lord, forever.” My mind resounds with those words, as my body continues to feel the awe and contentment of arriving in Yosemite Valley. Driving up the mountain via Highway 41, we pass through a long tunnel that ends in this view. . . aaaaah!! Hundreds of people are at the Scenic Overlook, drinking it all in, yet there’s no feeling of over crowdedness. . . this view and this valley are so big that every individual soul flies to the mountains and finds its place there.

Gusher in the Gulf: ‘We have met the enemy and he is us!’
By Frank Peterman Intuitively, every thinking American knows the Gulf Oil Spill was possible because it happened several times before and will happen as long as we drill for oil. And yet we sit around blaming the President, Congress, BP and anyone else we can for this predictable disaster. BP and theoil industry is doing...
