Program Description
Event Details
KPBS presents a special VIRTUAL event with disability rights activist Judith Heumann, author of "Being Heumann," the 2021 One Book, One San Diego selection. "Being Heumann" is a story of fighting to belong in a world that wasn’t built for all of us, and of one woman’s activism—from the streets of Brooklyn and San Francisco to inside the halls of Washington. "Being Heumann" recounts Judy Heumann’s lifelong battle to achieve respect, acceptance, and inclusion in society. Candid, intimate, and irreverent, Judy Heumann’s memoir about resistance to exclusion invites readers to imagine and make real a world in which we all belong.
"Being Heumann" may be purchased online from The Library Shop. Proceeds support the entire San Diego Public Library System.
One Book, One San Diego is a partnership, led by KPBS, with the San Diego Public Library, the San Diego County Library, San Diego State University, One Book Sin Fronteras and more than 25 others. For more information about One Book, One San Diego, please visit:
