A Discussion Led by Roger Berkowitz Based Upon Hunger of Memory by Richard Rodriguez
Join us for an active-learning program of community conversation that uses Richard Rodriguez's autobiography Hunger of Memory as a jumping-off point for discussion."I became a man by becoming a public man."
—Richard Rodriguez
The evening's discussion will address the tensions between cultural identity and U.S. citizenship, the responsibilities inherent in citizenship, and what it means to live a "public life."
Free copies of Hunger of Memory are available but supplies are limited. E-mail [email protected] for your copy.
