Update: Jean Price-Mars Biography

I heard from Vanderbilt University Press two days ago that “the faculty board unanimously approved your project for publication,” that is, my forthcoming intellectual biography on Jean Price-Mars, entitled “For the Sake of Black People and the Common Good: A Biography of Jean Price-Mars.” We are looking tentatively to a late 2026 publication date.

I have until January 15, 2026 to send a fully- revised and clean manuscript to my editor. Honestly, I don’t have a lot of work to do; I’ve been asked to do some minor changes.

Translation: Doctor Lou will not have a Winter break this year because he will be focusing on this manuscript. I am soooooo ready to get done with Price-Mars after working on this “dead man” for more than a decade. lol 😂 😂
