This issue honors the memory of Richard Ohmann, founder and long-time editorial board member of Radical Teacher. You can read a selection from his many writings for the journal and about his long and distinguished career as an English professor at Wesleyan University, as editor of College English, and as the author of English in America, Reading Culture, and other influential works in his obituary in the New York Times. Our purpose in this brief introduction is to share with Radical Teacher readers what he has meant to the journal and to his fellow editorial board members for almost fifty years.
