On Tuesday, November 4 at 1 p.m. ET, join Dr. Peggy Rowe Ward to learn more about her late husband’s legacy and his just-published book of poetry, Morning Night: Poems on Nature, Spirit, and Race. Released just after Dr. Larry Ward’s passing, the book, as well as his memory, carries on his call for collective healing and his belief that peace is within reach. Peggy will read from the book, offer reflections on Larry’s process, and take questions.
“To read Morning Night now is to sit directly with Larry’s clarity, compassion, and humor, his presence alive on every page, offering insight, reflection, and care for the world we share.“ — The Lotus Institute
