 Diversity Speaker Series: An Evening with Kyle Maynard
Kyle Maynard was born March 24, 1986 with a rare disorder called “congenital amputation,” leaving him with three joints: a neck and two shoulders. He has no elbows or knees. He measures just over 3 feet tall and weighs approximately 120 pounds. Despite his physical differences, Kyle was one of the top high school wrestlers in Georgia during his senior season. He qualified for and competed in the 2004 Georgia High School Wrestling Championships. Also, he narrowly missed All-American status at the NHSCA Senior National Wrestling Championships. His recent acclaimed book, No Excuses, tells his life story. |

JONATHAN KOZOL, award-winning author, educator, and social activist
Cole Auditorium
A graduate of Harvard and Oxford, Kozol says a defining moment in his life occurred in 1964 when he heard about three young civil-rights workers who had been murdered by the Ku Klux Klan. He had never been political or had any involvement in race issues, but he was greatly affected by the news. Soon after, he began working as a teacher in a freedom school that had been set up in a black church in a low-income, predominantly black area in Roxbury, just south of Boston.
The segregated public school in Roxbury was very different from the school Kozol had attended as a child growing up in the wealthy Boston suburb of Newton. Shortly after he began teaching in the public school system, Kozol was fired for reading from a book of poetry by Langston Hughes that was not on the approved curriculum list. Soon after, he wrote his first work of nonfiction, Death at an Early Age: The Destruction of the Hearts and Minds of Negro Children in the Boston Public Schools, based on his teaching experiences in Roxbury. The book won the National Book Award in 1968.
Kozol's books often involve first-hand accounts of his experiences. In Amazing Grace (1995), Kozol addresses the issues of race and poverty by exploring the lives of inner-city residents in the South Bronx. Kozol currently lives with his dog, Sweetie Pie, in a 200-year-old farmhouse in Byfield, Massachusetts.
NOTE: Jonathan Kozol's appearance at Edinboro University is part of the Conference on Poverty: Facing and Fighting Local, National, and Global Poverty. For more information about the conference, e-mail Rhonda Matthews at ramatthews@edinboro.edu.
