@npub17a9…mv9a Yes, he is a fantastic writer. So enraging though that we are still fighting many of the same fights that he and the other panelists discussed about the 50s and 60s...

@npub17a9…mv9a Back when he lived in Boston, I saw him on a panel at the Boston Book Festival after his book Stokely was published. I vividly remember how he pushed back against the audience member who tried to derail the panel with a ridiculously off-topic question...
