• Jacqueline Woodson Addresses Race, Violence at Festival of Contemporary Writing, May 24

  An African-American teenager is shot dead by a white police officer. A fellow officer, African-American, refuses to keep silent about the murder. These are the events that open Jacqueline Woodson’s dramatic young-adult novel Hush, told from the perspective of the black officer’s daughter, as the family is forced to reinvent their lives within the Witness Protection Program. Hush explores the cost of taking a stand against injustice in a story made all too timely by the Trayvon Martin tragedy. Award-winning young-adult author Jacqueline Woodson will give a public presentation focusing on Hush at 6:15 p.m. Thursday, May 24, in Spalding’s University Center Auditorium, 824 S. Fourth Street. Woodson is the inaugural Diana M. Raab Distinguished Writer in Residence for Spalding University’s brief-residency Master of Fine Arts in Writing Program.
