We remember Bebe Moore Campbell, who died last November at age 56, by taking a look at the novel for which she received the NAACP Image Award for Literature. Spanning the decades from the mid 1950s to the late 1980s, "Your Blues Ain't Like Mine" is a timeless tale of racism, murder, and redemption.
Kate Lehrer, author, most recently of "Confessions of a Bigamist."
Lisa Page, freelance writer who teaches creative writing at George Washington University.
E. Ethelbert Miller, poet; director of the African American Resource Center at Howard University, chair of the Washington D.C. Humanities Council. His last book was "How We Sleep on the Nights We Don't Make Love."
