"What do you have to do to get a comment around here?" OK, I'll bite. You have to have Substack recommend you to critics who'd get why lists like this are important and how much time it takes to do them. (I've been the book editor of the Plain Dealer, an NBCC v-p, reviewer for Kirkus, etc.) And I'm grateful that it recommended you to me.
By happenstance, I live now in Alabama, where Fred Shuttlesworth made a vast difference, and I especially appreciate your mention of the bio of him. He is too little known outside the state (as is another pivotal figure in the civil-rights struggle here, the lawyer Fred Gray).
Another journalist who might appreciate your list is @BethShelburne, a former anchor at WBRC in Birmingham and now an advocate for prison reform here. You might like Beth's Moth to Flame feed here on Substack. Thanks again for doing the list.
