SUMMARY:Front Porch Conversation with David Marquis\, Author and Naturalist
DESCRIPTION:The Climate Action Team and The Ned Fritz Legacy will host this Front Porch event with David Marquis\, author of The River of Goodness. David will read from his work and then discuss First Unitarian’s long tradition of advocacy and engagement with Rev. T. J. FitzGerald. Bring your questions for David\, too! Deep Vellum\, David’s publisher\, will be onsite with copies of David’s book and he will sign copies. \nREGISTER IN REALM \nAbout The River of Goodness \nEvery day\, posits Marquis\, every single human has to make a choice: accept the world the way it is or work to make it better. Each of us can pursue the work of goodness in many ways. The River of Goodness\, the second volume in Marquis’s River Trilogy\, provides real-world examples of people who have taken on the work of goodness\, whether through thankless tasks or in dangerous and challenging circumstances.  \nThis follow-up to Marquis’s beloved first volume\, The River Always Wins\, argues that making the world better is rooted in the hard daily work of creating change that lasts. \nAbout David Marquis \nDavid Marquis is a long-time committed activist for environmental and social change in the Dallas area. He is the author of I Am A Teacher (Simon & Schuster)\, which became a series of widely performed plays. He founded the Oak Cliff Nature Preserve in Dallas and has consulted with the Texas Conservation Alliance since 2011. The first book in this series\, The River Always Wins\, was published by Deep Vellum in 2020.
