Unsourced anecdote

[edit]
In the late 80s, the collective was moved to Jamaica Plain.  One of the founders, George Katsiaficas, worked his way into the store one day to see how the collective was going.  He seemed very disappointed in the state of things and thought the cause of "dust on all of the books" was due to the withering collective's distance from the heart of Boston.  Putting his house up on loan, Katsiaficas rented a brand new storefront just outside the Central T stop in Central Square in Cambridge.  Within the first day, all of the books on black history were sold.  The collective was revived.  After the year lease of the location, the collective's name was changed to the Lucy Parsons Center and moved to the Back Bay neighborhood of Boston.

Unsourced section from article

[edit]
One of the main volunteer activities is staffing the bookstore, which primarily involves handling the daily customer sales and upkeep of the store. In addition, there are many activities within and outside of the bookstore that volunteers and collective members contribute to: bookkeeping, book ordering, staffing/schedule coordinator, book tabling at local events, coordinating events in-store, newsletters, fundraising, and much more. People interested in becoming involved in the Lucy Parsons Center are free to call or come into the bookstore and sign up for volunteer training (4 weeks) or simply talk with any collective member.

it's too right-wing

This is too right wing. 24.62.29.25 (talk) 01:33, 25 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

In what way? The article doesn't have a lot of details, but it doesn't seem particularly right-wing. Gbear605 (talk) 13:23, 25 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah I agree nothing about it seems right-wing, happy to discuss further but I'm going to remove the template in the meantime since at the moment the only rationale is IDONTLIKEIT Mujinga (talk) 16:41, 7 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
