Abstract

"Books" piece on "Smoke Signals: Oral Histories from Long Creek," written by former Long Creek Youth Development Center inmates. The book was developed through a collaboration between Long Creek volunteer Bill Lundgren, the Student Press Initiative, and the Teachers College at Columbia University. Lundgren said that giving the young people an opportunity to have their stories published boosts their self-confidence and also serves as a warning to even younger people. The book is slated for circulation to high schools throughout the state. A book release party will take place at One Longfellow Square in Portland, on April 6.
