The project included a new cover, donor acknowledgment, table of contents, a timeline and minor text updates to a Discovery Guide for the play Bronzeville. Quick turnaround was a must, as special performances were scheduled for May 19-23 at the Manzanar National Historic site.
I quickly realized that integrating the timelines -- Japanese American internment, African Americans moving to L.A. during the Great Migration and inhabiting Little Tokyo, the LA-Owens Valley water wars -- was vital. The overlapping histories are more informative than when they were seperate.
We went through several drafts, completing the project in less than a week. Thanks to everyone at Robey for being such a joy to work with!
