Youth: 2032

Grace Lee Boggs

January 14, 2032, the day before Martin Luther King
Jr.'s 103rd birthday. Over the weekend there was a
record-breaking winter storm that old-timers are comparing
to the blizzard that paralyzed Detroit on the eve
of King's 63rd birthday, 40 years ago.

of information science, has a parallel academic goal
of understanding "the use of technology for social and
cultural development connected to a desire for capacity
