With Ginger Adams Otis, a staff writer at the NY Daily News, who has been writing about New York City and local politics for more than a decade.

This illustrated lecture features stories of courage—about firefighters risking their lives in the line of duty and risking their livelihood by battling an unjust system. It is an exciting blend of the high-octane energy of firefighting, critical Civil Rights history and a grassroots struggle for opportunity.
