Tonya, if you are still answering questions about your beautiful book, would you talk a little about something that�s more workaday and often difficult, but more and more essential to a quality nonfiction book. That is the process of photo research�finding the right images, researching rights, and obtaining permissions. That Harriet Tubman photo is indeed so touching and revealing, and there are many others that both add texture and richness to your text and at the same time point back to the text in visual ways. Can you talk about how photo research and writing wove together as you developed the book? Or really, I�d greatly appreciate anything else you have to say about the process.

Thanks so much.

Best,

Uma
