And the Winners Are…
Dear We Too Sing America Community! In early March, when We Too Sing America arrived in paperback, I pledged to give away 10 books – one to an individual and one to an organization of their choice. My publisher, The New Press, matched that giveaway so I’m excited to announce that 20 individuals and 20 organizations are receiving autographed and free copies of the book! To ensure that the book has the broadest reach possible, I also picked winners from 20 different states.
185 people entered the giveaway which surprised and thrilled me – thank you to everyone who entered for your support and interest in the themes of We Too Sing America.
