From the end of the poem by Magdaleno M. Rose-Avila
entitled "Journey of Hope" in his book -Looking For My Wings-
This is a journey of the heart
a time to find new friends
to travel uncharted roads
to open up new doors
into the future
this is a journey
for life...and redemption...
Join us as we remember together former journey folk moments and joys...
Many vignettes and letters coming soon with photos
inbetween.
Please see below and send your own memories and gratitudes...

Please buy and read Leno Magdaleno's exceptionally interesting and poignant book -Looking For My Wings-. The book is of manageable size for a weekend or a long flight or for an uninterrupted day. I read the chapters covering King right around MLK Day heading home from San Jose and the NCADP conference. Made the day come alive!
Besides an enjoyable style similar to the talent Leno has when he with surprising grace and humor "conducts" the spontaneous ins & outs of conference happenings--the book covers quickly a lot of territory for abolitionists and all interested in compassion.
I find -Looking For My Wings- particularly fascinating in that it compasses the 60's before I really was aware of the impact of that decade. The book also fills in plenty of details on human rights which I missed or knew little about at that time.
Finally I met Leno with a nice exchange about writing at the conference.
Whether or not you know Leno, do get his book--and go to his variety blog as well:
