I’m honored to be the guest of the Hanover NAACP at the Atlee Library on Saturday, Feb. 15, at 4 p.m. in the library’s main meeting room.
My talk about Bruce Tucker and the legacy of “The Organ Thieves” is part of the NAACP’s Black History Month programs in partnership with Atlee Library. You can join in a discussion about the lessons learned – and still to be learned – about the exploitation of Mr. Tucker’s body in the state’s first heart transplant as revealed in my book. I also hope to update folks on current plans to honor Tucker’s contributions (and his family’s) to medical science. For people driving north from RVA, the library is easy to find off I-95 and/or I-295. The address is 9212 Rutlandshire Dr, Mechanicsville, VA 23116. Please join this important conversation about current issues of social justice and human rights at a time when we ALL need to make our voices heard! Comments are closed.
