 I was as student in the sixties , engaged in the civil rights movement , anti @-@ Vietnam War protests . I 'd come from New York to attend the University of Wisconsin . It was an exciting time . A lot of active students wound up in different cities and communities as organizers . I chose Racine , Wisconsin . I spent three years there . We had developed a legal clinic and we had a whole health program , but the city was too small . I had , of course , heard about Uptown in Chicago , and the challenges . So I wound up here in 1976 . I waited tables . I did photography , took pictures for attorneys . Ultimately we started our own print shop in order to print our own newspapers and magazines .
