An historian and professor of African American Studies at the University of Wisconsin, Ethelene Whitmire is also the author of The Remarkable Life of Reed Peggram: The Man Who Stared Down World War II in the Name of Love. The book, says Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer Jonathan Eig, “more than lives up to its title, reminding us that the struggle for freedom is a tale worth telling from as many angles as possible.” Whitmire discussed The Remarkable Life of Reed Peggram with fellow BIO member Eric K. Washington in February.
