Ms. Brady will discuss her decision to document this compelling tale followed by a question and answer session. Guests will have the opportunity to purchase a copy of Fraternity and have it signed by Ms. Brady in a reception following the talk. Light refreshments will be served following the presentation. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas describes Father Brooks as “a combination of friend, uncle, priest, saint, Good Samaritan.”
