Christian Cooper - Six Bridges Book Festival 2023

Christian Cooper joined the 2023 Six Bridges Book Festival on Saturday, September 30 to discuss his book, Better Living through Birding: Notes from a Black Man in the Natural World. Equal parts memoir, travelogue, and primer on the art of birding, Better Living through Birding: Notes from a Black Man in the Natural World tells the story of Christian Cooper’s extraordinary life leading up to the now-infamous incident in Central Park and shows how a life spent looking up at the birds prepared him, in the most uncanny of ways, to be a gay, Black man in America today. Sponsored by Alan Ross Kumpe Memorial Endowment and Rebsamen Fund.
