Kudos to Professional Journalists and Historians
About a year ago an education reporter, based in Baltimore, called to ask about my work on the history of the AP program.* After a long gestation period Liz Bowie produced this article. So what?

Kudos to Liz Bowie and professional journalism—and to the historians who do recent history.
