Toxic Archives evening keynote

On April 16, University Archives hosted its spring keynote for its "Toxic Archives: Voices from Love Canal" exhibition. The event brought together storytelling, lived experience and historical memory in a way rarely seen in public programs on Love Canal. Journalist and author Keith O’Brien — author of "Paradise Falls: The True Story of an Environmental Catastrophe" — joined Luella Kenny, a former Love Canal resident and activist whose story is central to the book, for a powerful and deeply human conversation.
