A Real Present: Honoring History, Creating Future - Edit
Do you know:
Who was the first person to extensively tour the U.S. lecturing to promote veganism?
Who wrote the first cookbook in the U.S. with the word vegan in the title?
American Vegan Society is the longest-running vegan organization in the United States. AVS has a wealth of vegan knowledge, impressive magazine archives (American Vegan and Ahimsa issues dating back to 1960), and lots of current vegan book titles. AVS is actively shaping the future of vegan cuisine with pilot projects- results are shared to inspire change nationally.
Current campaigns include #VeganCuisineMonth, #DynamicHarmlessnessDay (Nov2), and #VeganGeneration3.

The Dinshahs & friends - Edit
I have a well-read copy of 'XXIII World Vegetarian Congress Cookbook' by Freya Dinshah - North American Vegetarian Society, 1975.
Enjoying this book very much triggered me to learn more about the US society.
In their own unique way the team in Malaga have been spreading vegan information continuously the late 1950s.
Nice!
Here is a fine interview detailing their many years of vegan activism - http://www.vegparadise.com/24carrot58.html
