Huie knows this; he shrewdly embraces such urban realities, hoping to take us beyond our well-taught imaginations and show us one grand sphere of humanity.""-""Colors"" magazine ""Must be a Nike thing.""-a teenager speculating on the Lake Street, U.S.A. images in a grocery store window Marketing plans Signed poster promotion to bookstoresNational author tour, including stops in New York, Connecticut, Boston, Philadelphia, Washington D.C., Baltimore, Minneapolis/ St. Paul, Chicago, San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, Palo Alto, Bellingham, Vancouver A nationally recognized artist, Wing Young Huie's first critical success was his Frogtown project (""Frogtown: Photographs and Conversations in an urban Neighborhood"").
