Flannery O’Connor @ 100: A Film, Conversation, and Celebration

To celebrate the centenary of Flannery O’Connor’s birth, Fordham’s Francis and Ann Curran Center for American Catholic Studies is sponsoring a screening of the play, Everything That Rises Must Converge, based on O’Connor’s short story about a Black woman and a white woman on a bus in the newly desegregated South.

A panel discussion follows, featuring director Karin Coonrod, several actors from the play, Associate Professor of African and African American Studies Mark Chapman, and the Curran Center’s Associate Director Angela Alaimo O’Donnell, who has written several books on O’Connor’s life and work.
