Bonnie Lee Black will be reading from her gripping memoir, Somewhere Child (Viking Press, NY, 1981), which sold roughly 22,000 copies, and was instrumental in the creation of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, and is still featured on the reading lists of organizations designed to help parents of abducted children.

Jeffrey Haas will be reading from his recently released book, The Assassination of Fred Hampton: How the FBI and Chicago Police Murdered a Black Panther.  In 2004, Jeff began writing about the intersection of his life with the life and death of Fred Hampton, the young Panther leader killed by the Chicago Police.  Chicago in 1969 was a microcosm of the forces in conflict in the world.  The book attempts to capture the mood and political tensions of that moment and how they led to Hampton’s murder.
