Hello all,
I thought of something we could do regarding Lee.
I propose that MAC and CSM devote their next newsletters to Lionel Barrow Jr., and that this special edition be linked to the first page of the AEJMC website for all to access. CSM and MAC newsletter editors can work together to put this issue together.
The special edition should be about Lee, but also be an occasion to reflect on our issues over the years. We should solicit articles, interviews, old pieces, etc. to make this special issue a fitting statement.
