The publication of University of Michigan Department of History professor Heather Thompson’s book coincides with the forty-fifth anniversary of the country’s largest prison rebellion at Attica, New York. Blood in the Water will shed new light on the riot, New York State’s violent response, and the decades-long implications of Attica for those involved. The book also includes interviews with former Attica prisoners, hostages, families of victims, lawyers, judges, law enforcement, and state officials; it is expected to reveal significant amounts of material never before released to the public. The program will be moderated discussion.
Though tickets are now watlist only, it will be webcast and can be viewed by visiting Ustream.tv.
