- **Event Name**: Author Event & Film Screening: Life Is So Good
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 12 Mar, 2026 at 06:00 pm
- **Event Description**: LIFE IS SO GOOD  by Richard Glaubman is the biography of George Dawson, a black who was born in 1898 and grew up under the harsh Jim Crow laws of the South. An illiterate man, he signed his name with an X. At the age of ninety-eight, he started school for the first day of his life and fulfilled his lifelong dream; to learn to read and write. It was a hard won education and he took great pride in signing his name.  In 2002 the George Dawson Middle School in Texas was named after him. Twenty years later, Josh Ault the journalism teacher at that school, was ordered to stop teaching from Dawson's memoir, LIFE IS SO GOOD. Ault refused to stop and lost his job.
For this event, Richard Glaubman will speak about writing the story of George Dawson and Josh Ault, the teacher who fought against censorship, will present with him.  They will talk about the life and times of George Dawson, but also about the effect of censorship and the attempt to whitewash history. Josh made a short film that will be shared at the event, as well as a clip from CBS Sunday Morning News.
