Talks
On Courage and Conscience
- 6PM
BAM Fisher
Wendy’s Subway Reading Room in the Sharp Lower Lobby
With Eyal Press
In conjunction with My Lai
Journalist and author Eyal Press discusses the ethics of disobedience—the subject of his book Beautiful Souls—in the context of the My Lai massacre. Join Press for a timely and important conversation asking: What impels individuals like Hugh Thompson, Jr. to cling to their principles when thrust into morally compromising situations? And why do their stories matter?
This event takes place in the Wendy’s Subway Reading Room before that evening’s performance of My Lai.
The writer-operated, Bushwick-based library Wendy’s Subway offers audiences the chance to engage with carefully curated selections from its print collection in the BAM Fisher.
