[Reading-hall-of-fame] history

[Ken Goodman]

Some of us have a longer history with IRA and there was a time when no
speaker was credited to a publisher and in fact state affiliates were
censored for crediting publishers. This practice of paying a company to
sell us to publishers certainly happened long after I was president.
Selling our endorsement for any product willing to pay us is
further degradation. It must be opened to pubic scrutiny and It should stop
now. What does it cost IRA (us) How much did it cost Pearson to get to run
the whole show in which we honored the African American  leadership in
Atlanta . I was frankly embarrassed  for IRA in that situation.When we
contract to private companies to do what we should do ourselves we create
 situation for risk of unwsie and sometimes illegal actions to occur.
There is a long history in IRA Be careful what you use it to justify.
