She fancies herself a scholar/activist even though she has had multiple sclerosis for twenty years. She has had her Ph. D. for thirty years and has taught at several universities from California to Massachusetts. She studied and worked with C.L.R. James in the 1970’s, was a community organizer in the 1980’s, diagnosed with MS in the 1990’s. Her mother moved from California to Rhode Island to give her the last active years of her academic life. Her mother now has dementia and does not walk. They live together in Newport, Rhode Island, still working for change in their personal lives and the lives of others.view less
