Join us for a conversation about one of New Orleans’ greatest tragedies, the murder by arson of 32 people, including WWII veterans who served their nation. Robert Fieseler, in conversation with Dr. Ed Lengel, will discuss this award-winning book which chronicles the events of that night, the controversies in the aftermath of the fire and the activism that followed and proved essential to the emergence of a fledgling gay movement.

Robert W. Fieseler is the winner of the 2020 Columbia Journalism School First Decade Award, the 2019 NLGJA (National Lesbian and Gay Journalists Association) Journalist of the Year, a recipient of the Pulitzer Traveling Fellowship, and the Lynton Fellowship in Book Writing. Tinderbox is his debut nonfiction work.
