Kentucky journalist Al Smith will attend the 2012 Kentucky Book Fair to sign copies of his latest book, Kentucky Cured: Fifty Years in Kentucky Journalism. He fondly recalls how “Kentucky is a land of the second chance.” The book celebrates those in the commonwealth who were community activists before the term became a part of the popular culture nomenclature: Georgia Powers and Lois Gray, Carl Perkins and Louie Nunn, Lyman John- son and a host of other movers and shakers. Smith, once again, has made Kentucky shine.
