Lonz Cook, “the WUMR interview was the most relaxed one I have ever done, Mr. Massey made it enjoyable.  My first Lorraine Hotel visit was truly touching, I met Dr. King when I was 8 yrs old because of the work my father, the late Rev. Dr.  F. F. Cooke, had done for the Civil Rights Movement.  The book signing was fun and we had an interactive crowd sharing opinions and laughs.  The Booksellers at Laurelwood  is a great venue.”
