Sgt. Isaac Woodard was an African-American World War II veteran whose 1946 beating and maiming, hours after being discharged from the U.S. Army, sparked national outrage and galvanized the Civil Rights Movement in the United States. The impact of Woodard's legacy is detailed in the 2019 book, Unexampled Courage by Richard Gergel who will narrate the evening.
Additional security screening will be in-place for this event. There is not a clear bag policy in place, but attendees should avoid wearing large backpacks and larger purses.
