Thurgood Marshall: American Revolutionary (Crown, 1998), a book by Juan Williams '76, has been named this year's Freshman Year Book Program (FYB) selection at the University of Maryland. According the University's Web site, the program is intended to provide a shared intellectual experience for all new students, and each selection is supported by student group events and lectures, culminating in an address by the author. Incoming students are provided with a copy of each year's text when they move into their dorms, and related programming continues throughout the year, as a way to involve them in the“ongoing discussion on civil rights, its history and the modern state of minorities in the United States.”
More information on the book, the program and its sponsored events, and an interview with Juan Williams is available at www.firstyearbook.umd.edu.
