Libraries, public schools (we even were asked to do something for a charter school in New Orleans -- no money but still a charter school, but still, kids with dedicated teachers who aren't getting paid much and can't afford to live in New Orleans any longer, and want to know how to approach slavery with their white and black kids -- yah, we did that.
Poor public colleges and historic black colleges, both of which are hurting really badly. But we can't afford to travel to do them. Nor will we do bookstores if travel is involved, unless the bookstore is in a place where we've got a paying gig already. Then you run into that sillyness sometimes where the bookstore attempts to bully us with, "if you're going to have the privilege of presenting in our store you can't be anywhere else." Well, no. You're riding somewhere's else's tail here.
