<p>[QUOTE="Figtree3, post: 600528, member: 33"]Reading this thread reminded me of what happened after an English professor and writer found an old suitcase full of letters from the WWII era at a flea market in St. Louis in 2002. He did a lot of research and wrote at least a couple of books about the people in the letters. <i>Inman's War</i> was about the young couple's love story and also the experiences of an African-American soldier serving in the war. <i>Olivia's Story</i> was based on his research on the later life of the wife, who was a teacher in St. Louis and a significant teacher to many. His research also uncovered her participation in a crucial civil rights case, Shelley v. Kraemer, decided by the U. S. Supreme Court.</p><p><br /></p><p>And it all started with letters found in a suitcase at a flea market!</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://wcfcourier.com/news/metro/war-letters-inspired-professor-to-write-book/article_abcb928b-62c2-59a5-887c-cdc91a76f382.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://wcfcourier.com/news/metro/war-letters-inspired-professor-to-write-book/article_abcb928b-62c2-59a5-887c-cdc91a76f382.html" rel="nofollow">https://wcfcourier.com/news/metro/war-letters-inspired-professor-to-write-book/article_abcb928b-62c2-59a5-887c-cdc91a76f382.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://wcfcourier.com/lifestyles/docu-drama-uni-prof-makes-film-about-landmark-civil-rights/article_d046dd21-c4c5-5794-8342-f73069647ea8.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://wcfcourier.com/lifestyles/docu-drama-uni-prof-makes-film-about-landmark-civil-rights/article_d046dd21-c4c5-5794-8342-f73069647ea8.html" rel="nofollow">https://wcfcourier.com/lifestyles/docu-drama-uni-prof-makes-film-about-landmark-civil-rights/article_d046dd21-c4c5-5794-8342-f73069647ea8.html</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
