Freedom's Main Line: Self Indulgence Alert, "It's About Time" Edition

If you click here or here you can see the long awaited first signs of life of this:



There has been a title change (the original project was called "A Brave and Wonderful Thing" but we decided to go with a switch) and since the book won't actually be out for a few months yet, I hope there will be a little more detail, and truth be told, some wiggle room on the price. Nonetheless, here is proof that I am not a complete wastrel. The folks at Kentucky have been absolutely great to work with, and while there is still much work yet to do with regard to editing and indexing, I am confident that we will meet deadlines and that you will be able to buy copies for friends, family, and yourselves well before Christmas.

Thanks. Tramaine! And it would make for a great text in a history class as in many ways I present a history of the movement through the prism and travels of the Freedom Rides . . .

Thanks! Unfortunately, it may well be the case that people will have to save to buy it, but I hope people do, because I would love for it to get out in paperback to reach the widest possible audience.
