Bill Steigerwald  is a veteran journalist from Pittsburgh who worked at the Los Angeles Times in the 1980s, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette in the 1990s and the Pittsburgh Tribune Review in the 2000s. Steigerwald’s new nonfiction book 30 Days a Black Man tells the story of an undercover mission by Pittsburgh Post-Gazette star reporter Ray Sprigle into the Jim Crow South in 1948. Sprigle’s nationally syndicated series, “In the Land of Jim Crow.” exposed the iniquities and humiliations suffered by ten million black Americans in the segregated South and started the first national debate in the media about ending America’s legal apartheid. Kirkus Review called 30 Days a Black Man is “a fascinating account of an anti-Jim Crow muckraking adventure…” that Steigerwald turned “into rollicking, haunting American history.” In 2010 Steigerwald faithfully retraced John Steinbeck’s Travels With Charley road trip of 1960 and wrote Dogging Steinbeck.  He and his wife Trudi live south of Pittsburgh in the woods.
