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.
