- **Event Name**:  Ian Manuel: The Myra Berman Kurtz '66 Seminar
- **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 04 Mar, 2026 at 05:00 pm
- **Event Description**: The Kurtz Seminar series presents author Ian Manuel on March 4 for this year's lecture. 

As a 13-year-old in Tampa, Ian Manuel was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole for attempted murder after his participation in a botched robbery. Manuel served 26 years in prison until Bryan Stevenson's Equal Justice Initiative secured his release in 2016, 18 of which (starting at age 15) were in solitary confinement. While incarcerated, Manuel began writing poetry, which he credits for keeping him sane and giving him hope, and he also befriended his victim, who became a fierce advocate for his release.

This event is free, in person, and open to the public. Registration is required.
