Enjoyed the link to the Claudette Colvin piece. What a fascinating story and what a fascinating person. I feel humbled by her humility and dignity in the face of her planned obscurity. I'm so glad the book won the award--a reminder that powerful nonfiction can touch the heart just as deeply--if not more so--than fiction. Happy Thanksgiving.
