Chicagoan Kevin Coval has written an amazing foreword and I'm excited about the political activists, writers, union organizers, and even politicians that have agreed to write blurbs. Finally, will begin travel for the book with a trip to Chicago for the launch -- many more places to follow -- can't wait for the conversations.

ReplyDeleteHey Alan. My mother is on that list. FYI, she spells her name with a "K". At that time, it was "Karolyn Nichols", although she is now "Karolyn Burlando". (borked your name in the first comment :) )
