At my first book signing, February 2, 2024 in Montclair, NJ at the Clairidge Theater. The first book I signed was for a former Buffalo film critic who reviewed several of the films I wrote about in this book.
Three years ago, on this day, I turned in the first draft manuscript of my book, BLACK CAESARS AND FOXY CLEOPATRAS: A HISTORY OF BLAXPLOITATION CINEMA. That feeling was almost as great as seeing the finished product in the wild for the first time.

When I started out in journalism, I was a big believer in the liberal idea of progress. I thought things were getting better in the world - because they were. What I now recognise is that things get better because people work to improve them. Once that work stops, things get worse
