Subject: | Tips for a trip to San Francisco | ||
Hi, Li Ming, I'm glad that you are coming to San Francisco next month. But I think there is still something I should let you and your friends know before you leave. First, bring a warm jacket and sweater so that you're prepared for changes in the temperature. Even in the summer months of July and August, it gets cold. Second, many of the phone boxes at San Francisco airport and in the center of the city only accept prepaid(预先付款的) calling cards. So a prepaid phone card is needed. I suggest you buy one at the airport. Third, it's not easy to find a hotel room when you arrive. Hotels fill up quickly in San Francisco all year, especially in summer. You'd better book your room before you come. One more thing. San Francisco is a great walking city—but there are hills! Bring a comfortable pair of walking shoes if you're planning to go around on foot. Lastly, there are many wonderful cultural activities in San Francisco year round. Use the Internet to get the latest information about the activities all the time of your visit. Wish you a pleasant trip. |

Mayme Clayton collected books, magazines and letters written by African Americans. Her son, Avery Clayton, thought her collection was important. Unlike most books, these were rare and hard to find. They were written by writers who helped shape African American culture.
One book in the collection was written by Phillis Wheatley. Wheatley was a slave who wrote poetry. She was the first African American to publish a book. Wheatley herself signed (签名) the book in the Claytons' collection. No one else owns a copy signed by Phillis Wheatley.
By the time she passed away at age 83, Mrs. Clayton had more than 30,000 books by or about black people. Her collection also includes papers about slaves, photographs, movies, sheet music, and personal letters by black leaders and artists. It is one of the biggest personal collections of African American history and culture in the United States.
Avery Clayton's dream was to create a museum for his mother's treasures. Scholars say that Mrs. Clayton's collection is very important. Without her work, part of African American heritage (遗产) would have been lost. “We didn't know these things existed,” says Sara Hadron of California's Huntington Library.
The collections new home is likely to be in Culver City, California. Part of Avery Clayton's dream is to share the cultural riches his mother collected with others. He especially wants children to have a chance to see the collection. “ At present African American culture is being explained by pop culture,” he says, “ It's important to offer a more complete picture.”
