On October 27,  l discussed my latest novel, A Human Rights Odyssey, at the University City Public Library.  Much of the novel describes my growing up years in University City, Missouri during the heyday of the Civil Rights Movement.  In fact, two important characters in the novel were sitting in the audience!  Hence, my book discussion at the public library and my presentations at the local high school were far more personal than in my other public appearances.  The novel represents the celebration of a progressively-minded school system that nurtured me throughout my life. My novel is a labor of love and a gift to the University City Public School System.
