Join us tonight for an open reading of the play "An Eye for an Eye," by Linda
Pilz Napoletano. "An Eye for an Eye" tells the story of Bangladeshi
immigrant and hate crime victim Rais Bhuiyan. Mr Bhuiyan was shot in
the face by Mark Stroman in the wake of the September 11th World Trade
Center attacks, but, after recovering from his injuries, fought to save
Stroman from execution. Although this effort was unsuccessful, Mr. Bhuiyan went on to found the organization World Without Hate, and has dedicated his life to assisting both victims of hate crimes, and death row inmates. Mr. Bhuiyan will lead a discussion with
Wesleyan Professors Indira Karamcheti and Peter Gottschalk after the reading.
This program is presented
in collaboration with the Patricelli Center for Social Entrepreneurship,
the Adelphic Educational Fund and a number of other Wesleyan University
and Middletown organizations, including the Vintage Players. This is
the second event of five that will celebrate Graduate Liberal Studies'
60th Year.Call (860) 685-2900 for more information or visit
