Harriet Tubman Legacy Speaker Series: A Conversation with Rodney Stotts

Carolina Raptor Center's annual Harriet Tubman Legacy Speaker Series celebrates diverse individuals in the field of conservation. This year's Harriet Tubman Legacy Speaker is Rodney Stotts, a master falconer, licensed raptor specialist, educator, and author. Stotts works passionately to educate young people about their environment through birds of prey. From 10 AM to 2 PM, Stotts will be at the Carolina Raptor Center. Join us for an educational program featuring one of CRC's avian ambassadors, a conversation with Stotts and CRC's President and CEO, Erin Katzner, and book signings by Rodney Stotts. Stotts' memoir, Bird Brother, details his journey from a childhood in the tough streets of Southeast Washington, D.C. in the late 1980s to his current career as a master falconer and educator. Eye-opening, witty, and moving, Bird Brother is a love letter to the raptors and humans who transformed what Rodney thought his life could be. This event is followed by an additional event with Rodney Stotts at Queens Sports Complex that includes a screening of The Falconer, a documentary starring Stotts, followed by a Q&A. The screening will begin at 12:45 PM and is a ticketed event. In the documentary The Falconer, Stotts' present-day mission is woven with the story of his past, both of which are deeply rooted in issues of social and environmental injustice, and consistently orient the viewer to his worldview: nature heals.
