Tekla Ali Johnson

Bounced email I've sent to Tekla Ali Johnson, whom I've never met (maybe she'll Google herself and find this!):

Hi

I've just read your contribution on Frederick Douglass in the Nebraska-Kansas Act of 1854 book. ["Frederick Douglass and the Kansas-Nebraska Act:  From Reformer to Revolutionary"]

I'm eager to read your PhD thesis on Ernie Chambers, if it's available somehow.

Anyway, I figured out a way to buy a "soft bound" copy of her PhD thesis online.  I also read that a book version is "under review" at the Texas Tech University Press.

An intellectual and political biography of Nebraska State Senator Ernest Chambers: Activist, statesman, and humanist. Part I. 1937--1988
       by Johnson, Tekla (Agbala) Ali Ph.D.
       The University of Nebraska - Lincoln, 2005, 431 pages
       AAT 3176787

I've been a big fan of Ernie Chambers for years.

The default "Cartoonize" option on Cole's cellphone does a better job than anything I've been able to put together using Photoshop.
