This was such a lovely conversation about TB, stigma, and the role of story in advocacy. Plus I got to meet three of my favorite TB writers! Maria's book THE BLACK ANGELS just came out; it's a beautifully written and fascinating history of finding the cure for TB, and the Black American women who made it happen.

Last November, @heybonanos came across boxes of documents that had been thrown out by a church on East 35th Street.

Let me tell you a story. This is Susan Lung. She taught me to read and write in a single year when I was 7 years old. I've been looking for Susan, hoping to thank her in person, for almost twenty years. And then she surprised me at my reading last night.
