Thanks to all who came out last night to the Lucile Bluford Library for my book signing in Kansas City (yes, I was competing with Empire!). In the house was KC-National Black United Front, MO CURE, Cenral High School alum, One Struggle-KC, St. Paul Presbyterian Church, MADP-KC, Valerie and Darryl Burton (MO Exoneree).
