Tompkins County Public Library’s Truth Be Told Non-Fiction Book Club will meet Tuesday, March 7 from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. in the Library’s Tompkins Trust Company Study Room for a discussion of “Blood in the Water: The Attica Prison Uprising of 1971 and its Legacy,” by Heather Ann Thompson.
Thompson’s critically-acclaimed
2016 exposé on one of the most important civil rights stories of the 20th
century explores every aspect of the uprising and its legacy. It includes perspectives
from all of those involved in the 45-year fight for justice, including the
prisoners, state officials, lawyers on both sides, the New York State Troopers,
corrections officers and the families of the slain men.
The Truth Be Told
Non-Fiction Book Club is free and open to the public. Limited copies of
the book are available for new and existing Club members at the Library’s
Information and Learning Service’s Reference Desk.
