Conversation and Book Signing with Author Corban Addison of Wastelands: The True Story of Farm Country on Trial

Date: Wednesday, November 9, 2022
Time: 6:15 - 9:00 PM
Description: Imagine your ancestral home suddenly being sprayed with hog manure that gets on your clothes, kitchen countertops, and eating utensils. Imagine a multibillion dollar corporation creating similar situations across predominantly Black and Hispanic counties in eastern North Carolina under the protection of the North Carolina legislature. Imagine after years of frustration and futility, an impassioned cadre of local residents, led by a team of intrepid and dedicated Wake Forest-trained lawyers, files lawsuits against one of the world's most powerful companies—and, miraculously, they win.

Join us for a discussion with Corban Addison, author of Wastelands, and Mona Wallace (JD '79, P '08), lead plaintiffs' attorney in the lawsuits that brought the concentrated animal feeding industry to heel. This discussion is co-sponsored by Yadkin Riverkeeper.
