Thank you, Fran. All your subjects are important but, having been involved in rent strikes many years ago in St. Louis, I especially appreciate this one.
Thanks, Susan! St. Louis rent strike history is legendary stuff! You were too young to be part of the 1969 strike that remade public housing law for the whole country, right?
I wish I were that young! I was teaching Head Start catty-corner from the Darst-Webbe projects and many parents slept overnite in my classroom. And an aside - I am just finishing KING A Life by Jonathan Eig, and have shed tears several times. Really well written, very moving, taught me a number of things. xoxo

Wow, Susan, I hope you write about those St. Louis experiences sometime, or share if you have already written. My beloved cousin was part of history!
