7 pm –
9 pm

Cary Hall, 1605 Massachusetts Ave., Lexington, MA

 

Don’t miss this rare opportunity to hear Lester
Brown, speaking here in a moderated discussion with Susanne Shaw of the Union
of Concerned Scientists. They will discuss Brown’s new autobiography “Breaking
New Ground: A Personal History,” an inspirational memoir tracing Lester Brown’s life from a small-farm
childhood to leadership as a global environmental activist.

One
of the icons of the sustainability/environmental movement, Lester Brown was a
winner of a MacArthur Fellowship, among numerous other awards. The Washington
Post called Lester Brown “one of the world’s most influential thinkers.” The
Library of Congress requested his personal papers in 1986.

 

Those of us
who heard him speak in Lexington in 2006 and 2008, know that he is a powerful,
empathic and memorable speaker: not to be missed.
