A Needham resident, Larry Finison is a social psychologist and historian. He researches issues of race, class, and gender and how these factors influence who can ride with whom— who is included and who is excluded? He feels privileged to write about a city he's loved since his arrival as a teenager in 1954, despite its warts and troubles, and its very real racial conflicts.

STEVE DUNWELL makes photographs of New England – its people, landscape, and industry. In 1980, Dunwell worked with Michael Folsom to document the existing condition of the Francis Cabot Lowell Mill at Waltham for the Historic American Engineering Record.
