Jo Scott Coe, a writer-researcher and Riverside City College English Professor, will discuss her richly textured portrait of Kathy Leissner Whitman from her book: UNHEARD WITNESS
Kathy was an intelligent and aspiring young woman in the early 1960's who married Charles Whitman at age nineteen. Coercive, controlling, and increasingly violent, Whitman took Kathy's life the night before committing mass murder from the Tower at the University of Texas in August 1966.
Join us for a fascinating discussion on the intersection of public violence and violence in the home, even as such private crimes are treated separately, and their origins and impact are overlooked.
Books available for purchase. An RSVP is greatly appreciated.
