Joan McGann Morris joined WWHP in 1998 when she wrote “Union Train” about the UPS Strike and the Clerical Workers Strike organized by Vickie Starr. Subsequently, she has written plays on the Congress Hotel Strike, “We Unite Here,” and wrote a play on the pioneering women lawyers of Illinois, “From Bonnets to Law Briefcases.” Joan was an adjunct instructor at Harold Washington College for over ten years and worked as a writing tutor. Joan taught English at DeVry University for over 25 years and currently works as a Professional Writing Tutor at Oakton Community College in Skokie, Illinois. She, like her inspiration, Studs Terkel, wants to capture the stories of working men and women in their own words. Their stories are our legacy and should never be forgotten.
