Leonard,
As part of your discussion in MINDERS of the growing awareness of the need for books reflecting multicultural perspectives , I appreciated you discussing groundbreaking publishers such as Children's Book Press, Just Us Books, Writers and Readers' Black Butterfly imprint, and Lee & Low, among others.
Since not everyone on CCBC-Net will have had a chance to read MINDERS yet, can you briefly mention who some of the "minders" were at these alternative presses? Do you have a sense of to what extent their work was on the radar of those in mainstream publishing?
