John Prendergast at Decatur Library
Human rights activist Prendergast and Oscar-nominated actor Don Cheadle have co-authored a powerful and empowering new book that focuses on a vital topic: "The Enough Moment: Fighting to End Africa’s Worst Human Rights Crimes." Their book shows the critical steps now being taken by engaged citizens, the famous and the little known, to combat genocide, rape and child abuse across the African continent. The book not only outlines the scope of the terrible problems but includes information about what others may do to help. Featured are interviews with many celebrities, among them Martin Sheed, Ben Affleck, Sheryl Crow, Ryan Gosling, Angelina Jolie and members of Congress.
