Book Tour Log -- Baltimore and Washington D.C.


September 22 – Red Emma’s Baltimore

Great venue that welcomes a huge diversity of people. I spoke a great deal about Studs’ 3rd party politics and his lifelong fighting and documenting white supremacy. Not a huge crowd but it turned out that people who were eating or working were also listening.  Heads popped up and stayed with the conversation. Amy & David came from Washington to fetch us and David asked a great question about both how Studs nurtured others and possible successors.  Two young people asked questions: 1. Studs and Black Lives Matter & 2. Social Network stuff and stories or the killing of stories. Loved the setting and the people.

September 27 – The Potter’s House Washington D.C.

Good crowd and once again I had friends come out. For example, it was quite special seeing my friend/workmate (we lined little league fields), Joel Cohn, who I hadn’t seen in 40 years. Tried to cover various aspects of Studs’ life and the questions were focused and substantial. Young people came out and added good energy with questions and comments. Great bookshop where once again, I bought a book, not such a good idea amidst travels.
