I bought this book. The world Smiley and Graham discussed was foreign and fascinating to me, at that time a nearly 60yo white woman born in OK and college in TX.

I learned about Eric Dyson on Smiley's news program as well.

And about the Tom Joyner Show.

Discovered VSB yr or so ago from a black commentator at another progressive site.
