Shelley Fisher Fishkin and I are working up a proposal for a session on teaching the racial context of HUCKLEBERRY FINN, to be presented at the NCTE convention in Pittsburgh, Nov. 19-22, 1993. I will chair the session, Shelley will give a paper (perhaps something involving her now-famous friend "Sociable Jimmy"), and David Smith (who authored a much-praised essay for SATIRE OR EVASION?) will give a second paper (probably on black responses to HF). We still need a third paper; since there's been a lot of Forum conversation related to this subject recently, I wondered whether anyone would like to propose something. If so, I'll need to hear from you quickly. Jim Leonard
