Stor·y time
noun: Storytime
a regular time at which a story is read aloud.
a time when a story is told to a group of assembled people.
Storytime precedes bedtime for some children.
Many public libraries offer storytime on a regular schedule.
Storytime for adults is just that- It’s an hour and a half to listen as an interesting person reads an interesting thing. As always, there will be a discussion and time for questions with the reader as part of the program. The reader is announced but their choice of book, newspaper, poems, script, or anything else is kept secret until story-time.
“Interesting People Reading Interesting Things” is a monthly (ish) event hosted by The Detroit History Club. For the 49th installment, our reader is author Alan Reuther.
Alan Reuther is the son of Roy Reuther and the nephew of famed labor leader Walter Reuther. He received a law degree from the University of Michigan Law School in 1977. Following in his father’s and uncles’ footsteps, the author spent his career working for the United Auto Workers (UAW). In 1977 he began as a
lawyer in the union’s legal department, litigating in federal district and appellate courts, including the U.S. Supreme Court. In 1982 he transferred to the UAW’s Washington office to work on legislative matters. He became legislative director in 1991 and supervised the union’s activities lobbying Congress and the
executive branch on health care, pensions, worker rights, and other issues. Alan will be speaking on his new book Roy Reuther and the UAW Fighting for Workers and Civil Rights, his book will be available for sale on site.
