I just finished a biography of Cora Wilson Stewart.  It was a really insightful read into the beginnings of a national literacy movement.  She is a native Kentuckian and began the Moonlight Schools movement with a philosophy that is very similar to Family Literacy.  The book, if anyone is interested, is titled Cora Wilson Stewart and Kentucky's Moonlight Schools :Fighting for Literacy in America by Yvonne Baldwin.  
 
I would also add  Malcolm Knowles to the list.

If we are going to talk about family literacy, we certainly must include Sharon Darling!

	I consider Dr. Susan B. Neuman a big name in early literacy.  She is currently a professor at University of Michigan. We brought her to Miami for PD with early childhood, pre-k and kindergarten teachers, and for a presentation for parents at one of our family learning events.  She is fabulous.

	I am curious who you would consider to be big names in literacy, both historically and currently?
