First and foremost, Mr. McMillan is like a folk hero.  My uncle's would tell stories of and about the movement and the neighborhood friends they hung around with. Standing is historical and Ernest shares his activities, travels and provides his perspective of how the nation/Dallas chose to handle the growing black voices during the early 70's.  It was a Honor to meet him.

I recently finished reading "Standing" by Ernest McMillan, purchased during Tulisoma Book Fest at the Dallas African American Museum last month.

congrats and good luck man

Learning everyday, next contest is the D.A.G. (Distinguished Authors Guild) in November.

It was a great event, met founder - CEO Troy Johnson of AALBC, founder Patrick Oliver of Speakloudly.com and local activists Ernest McMillan. Looking forward to the next Tulisoma South Dallas Book Fair but as a panelist. 

I’m new to the industry and I launched my memoir, No Doubting Thomas “Hawg Whisperer” My Arkansas Memoirs, in February 2022. It has garnered a few literary recognitions but my question is how does a self-published author get their books into local but smaller book stores and book signings.
