Many of you may remember reading about the murder of Matthew Shepard, a gay man attending the University of Wyoming who was tormented and beaten for his sexual preference.
October 12th marks the ten year anniversary of Shepard's death, and The Laramie Project is encouraging the public to remember the tragic events that occurred that day by conducting readings across the country of an epilogue to the story, comprised of new interviews with Shepard's mother as well as his killer, Aaron McKinney. Though I have had many quarrels with my alma-matter, I admire them for being a partner in this project to make it happen. You can see if the readings will be taking place in your city here.
