DESCRIPTION:
Authors June Levine and Gene Gordon will read from and sign

their book, Tales of Wo-Chi-Ca: Blacks, Whites, and Reds at Camp, the story

of a left-wing summer camp for kids-one of the first interracial camps in

the country. The event, which is free and open to the public, will take

place on Saturday, February 22, at 2 P.M. at the Southern California Library

(SCL), located at 6120 S. Vermont Avenue (between Slauson and Gage) in Los

Angeles. SCL is proud to present this event in recognition of Black History

Month.

Tales of Wo-Chi-Ca tells the moving story of radical pioneers-black and

white-who once lived in unity at a summer camp for kids. Against a vast

canvas of The Great Depression, World War II, the Cold War, and McCarthyism,

the authors present renowned activists, legendary artists, and genuine

heroes. With memoirs, photographs, songs, and dramatic text, Tales of

Wo-Chi-Ca adds a new chapter to the annals of radicalism-a story almost

unknown to American history.

Authors June Levine and Gene Gordon have "left-wing backgrounds," says Gene.

"She was a red diaper baby; I am a Paul Robeson scholar." Together they have

written a book that The Nation calls "a delight!" A dustjacket quote from

Pete Seeger says: "It's an important story and you tell it wonderfully."

Everyone is invited to attend this event. Call 323-759-6063 for more

information.
