Do Better: 3rd draft comment hanger, Chapters 7, and 8

     For those interested in helping to begin this project, I have finally finished the third draft of Do Better, formerly known as Baby Acres, or Baby Floors, and am out of spoons.  So, I am requesting volunteers to help with the work of providing feedback for this book, and preparing to send it out into the world, as yours, Intrepid Volunteers.

    I’m still posting the rough draft sections on Wednesdays as a reminder and rallying point, until someone offers to build a site or portal for the set of communities to be built around this project.  I offer Do Better as a starting point for guidelines over the next 70 years, with the understanding that the project must be shaped by those who come after me.  Thus Do Better, while written by my hand, must be released into other hands to continue the journey.  I prepare to do that now.

     Here is the Table of Contents from the Chapters 7 and 8:

Stayed on Freedom’s Call
(free: https://archive.org/details/StayedOnF…)
includes two ‘imagination-rich’ walking tours, with songs, of Washington, DC. New interviews and research are woven into stories of old struggles shared by both the Jewish and African-American communities in the capital city.

Shared histories are explored from a new perspective of cultural parallels and parallel institution-building which brought the two communities together culturally and historically.

Please leave a review, if you can, on the GoodReads page.
