John Lumea is founder of The Emperor Norton Trust, a nonprofit that works on a variety of fronts — research, education, advocacy — to advance the legacy of Joshua Abraham Norton (1818-1880), best known as the San Francisco eccentric and sometime visionary, Emperor Norton. (From August 2013 to December 2019, the Trust was known as The Emperor's Bridge Campaign.) One of the Trust's projects, for which Lumea is creator and curator, is the Emperor Norton Map of the World. 70 pinned locations at http://EmperorNortonTrust.org/emperor/emperor-norton-map
