We will read and discuss "Tough Love: My Story of Things Worth Fighting For" by Susan Rice. Her personal story begins with her great-grandfather, who was born a slave and it unfolds through Susan, who grew up in privilege with an elite education, worked at the State Department and rose to become UN Ambassador and National Security Advisor.

Ms. Rice provides an insider's account of the complex international issues confronted by the United States during her decades of service.

Gerry Lapidus leads the first week's discussion and requests volunteers to lead the remaining sessions while he serves as moderator. Please read the Prologue and Sections 1 and 2 (p.1-58) for the first session.

This study group will meet Mondays for eight weeks beginning January 25. Preregistration is required via the OLLI website or phone. A link to access the study group will be e-mailed to you approximately one week prior to the first session.
