UC Hosts Event as Part of Community-Wide Reading Program
Amy Waldman, the featured author of Cincinnatis 2012 On the Same Page community-wide reading program,
will speak at the University of Cincinnati at 7 p.m., Monday, March 5, in the MainStreet Cinema of Tangeman University Center (TUC). The event is free and open to the public.
UC Bookstores will sponsor a book signing in the cinema immediately following the event.
Waldman is author of The Submission, which explores how 9/11 has challenged personal convictions and changed the public debate on what it means to be an American. Copies of the book will be available at the event for sale and signing.
The book tells the story of the selection of the winning design for the memorial to honor those who died in the attacks on the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001. A jury chose an anonymous winning design, only to discover that the creator of the design was an American Muslim.
Waldman was a city desk reporter for The New York Times and covered the response to the 9/11 attacks in New York City.
Waldmans appearance at UC is sponsored by UCs Just Community Program and Student Affairs.
