Bill’s Busy Writing a Book About Labor Unions

To readers of my column ‘African World’: I wanted to send this note of apology for not having written anything for BC in quite some time.

I have been asked to write a book by Beacon Press and i have a very tight deadline.

The combination of my day job plus writing this manuscript have been simply overwhelming and i have had to cut back. This has meant that i have had to put my columns for BC on hold, as well as decline several unrelated invitations to speak and to write.

This has been very difficult for me since i love BC and i love writing for it. But i realized that if i did not take this step that it would be impossible for me to complete the manuscript. The manuscript concerns labor unions and it is written for a broad audience of readers.

After i know that the manuscript passes the straight-face test with my publisher and we are into real editing i will have more to say about it.

I hope to get back to BC soon, in either case. Love to you all. Keep the faith.
