“Why am I always hopeful? Cause I still got the ab “Why am I always hopeful? Cause I still got the ability to wield the most powerful thing in this country. It ain’t the bullet. It ain’t saying nasty words to each other. It’s the power to say, ‘I’m not going to allow injustice on my watch” — Calvin Duncan
 
Last night’s Ten Evenings conversation with Calvin Duncan and Sophie Cull (with Steel Smiling’s @courtappetit) reminded us that “The Jailhouse Lawyer” isn’t just a book; it’s a lived testimony, and a call to attention, responsibility, and endurance.
 
Thank you to everyone who read along, braved the cold, showed up in the hall and at home, helping turn reading into community. And endless gratitude to our partners Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Museums of Pittsburgh, plus all the organizations who made the Western PA Book Read possible.
 
We’re grateful to be in this work with you, Pittsburgh. 💛📚
