About one-quarter of the children on Kristof's old school bus died in adulthood from drugs, alcohol, suicide, or reckless accidents. While these stories unfolded in one corner of the country, they are wholly representative of other communities featured in Tightrope.
In a virtual discussion moderated by Richard Salomon, Vice President, Illinois Holocaust Museum and Education Center, the authors will reflect on the plight of many working-class families across America, from small towns to the inner city who are plagued by unemployment, poverty, incarceration, and the devastating effects of addiction.
Nicholas Kristof and veral books and their coverage of China in 1990 made them the first married couple to receive a Pulitzer Prize. Kristof currently works as an op-ed columnist for the New YorSheryl WuDunn have coauthored sek Times. WuDunn, previously a business editor and foreign correspondent for the New York Times, is now working in banking.
