Many on DU know of Jimbo starting the Freepers but did you know of the incredible progressives?
Hidden in Plain Sight
This new book by Community Alliance newspaper writer Richard Stone is now available on Amazon.
Margaret Hudson. Gloria Hernandez. Rev. Floyd Harris. George & Maia Ballis. These are a few of our community stalwarts to be found in Hidden in Plain Sight: profiles of Fresnos progressive activists, a just-published compilation of 72 profiles and 5 articles written by Richard Stone and originally printed in the Community Alliance. The book is intended both to honor the subjects of the profiles, and to remind readers of the scope and history of our local progressive movement over the past few decades.
It is also a fundraiser for the Alliance, with all profits coming to us. Handsomely designed by Tim Savage, and including photos of all the subjects, it is available as a paperback for $15.
