Canadian Literature Centre’s Brown Bag Lunch: Jael Richardson

Author and advocate for literary diversity Jael Richardson discusses her father-daughter memoir, The Stone Thrower, which has been newly released as a children's book in 2016. As Richardson unravels the story of her father’s life, she begins to compare her own childhood growing up in Canada with her father’s US civil rights era upbringing. Along the way, she also discovers the real reason – despite his athletic accomplishments – that her father was never drafted into the National Football League -- PLEASE NOTE: Due to the popularity of this event, we've decided to move to a larger room in the Rutherford library. Closest parking to the Rutherford library would be either lot U/N, Saskatchewan drive or Education lot. If you choose to park in lot U/N or on Saskatchewan drive the Rutherford library is connected to the West side HUB Mall right in the middle. If you choose to park in Education parking lot, you will have to cross the bus lanes south and Rutherford is the first building behind the LRT University Station. Please use the School of Library Studies entrance on the North West side of the building to enter and proceed up the stairs or elevator to Room 2-09.
