I wanted to ask you to join in here. I think were also talking about the Asian Community and were talking about whether people feel that they are being hurt and theyre included.

And, of course, he did in very profound ways. So this book restores the radical king. Im very proud of that and there were working with cornell on a brandnew book called Justice Matters which will be out in 2015, and which looks not only at racial inequality in america but really at justice issues very broadly, including lgbt justice, including economic justice, including immigrant rights, all kinds of issues which are so important in america today. So we are happy to have cornell back and thats what theyre important to us. And then we also are publishing books cheryl, her book, place not race just cannot.
