Description
William Schulz will discuss his recent book, "Reversing the Rivers: A Memoir of History, Hope, and Human Rights." From 1994 to 2006, William F. Schulz headed Amnesty International USA. During this time, he and the organization confronted some of the greatest challenges to human rights. Presenting poignant stories combined with amusing anecdotes and philosophical reflection, Reversing the Rivers is an engaging account of how one human rights activist faced the day-to-day realities of struggling with human rights crises while answering the question, “How do you retain any hope at all in humanity?”
