[Peace] Feb. 15: "The Negro in Illinois" at UFL

[Brian Dolinar]

I'm happy to announce my first public book talk in Champaign-Urbana for *The
Negro in Illinois: The WPA Papers* will be *Saturday, Feb. 15, 2-3pm at the
Urbana Free Library*. I'll be speaking about local connections in the book
- WPA workers doing research at the University of Illinois library, mention
of segregation in Champaign, and citation of late nineteenth-century
editorials from the *News-Gazette*. I hope you can make it. I'll be selling
the book at a discounted rate and signing copies afterwards.

In case you missed it, this

the book appeared in the *Chicago
Tribune*. You can watch a book talk I gave in Chicago that was broadcast on
C-SPAN's Book TV here <http://www.c-span.org/video/?316160-1/WPA>.

Today, Feb. 1, I also want to wish Happy Birthday to Langston Hughes, an
intermittent resident of Chicago. Here's

reading "The Weary Blues."
