FLAGSTAFF — Dora Rodríguez, who nearly perished while fleeing El Salvador and crossing the AZ border in 1980 will give to readings of her memoir, A Daughter of Unforgiving Terrain, . Dora’s survival is credited with helping to spark the Sanctuary Movement. She is a committed humanitarian and an incredibly inspiring speaker.
On Thursday April 23 you have two different opportunities to hear Dora read/present:
@ 4 pm in Liberal Arts 120 at NAU
@ 6 pm in the Coconino Center for the Arts, 2300 N Fort Valley Rd
(At the CCA, you can also see the related art exhibition showing paintings by two Mexican artists, José Luis Sotero and Guillermo Galindo. The show will be up until June 6).
I hope to see many of you. Please share the information about these free events (in English) with students, faculty, staff, and community members.
Dora will have books available to sell and sign. These events are sponsored by the GELL Center at NAU and the Coconino Center for the Arts.
