Fittingly, we'll have a first responder from the infamous 9/11 present on this 9/11! Ron Sardanopoli paints a vivid picture as he personally experiences a decade of a poverty stricken South Bronx, New York City communities, during the 1970s. While these communities are being burned down to the ground, politicians and senior leaders are overwhelmed and confused, unable to find a resolution, while people are suffering from oppressive social conditions. Amidst these surroundings resonates a thrilling inspirational boxing story filled with history as a youth's perseverance and plight in the face of the gritty background of poverty, burning apartment buildings, jobless tenants, homelessness, street gangs, and crime. A story about a youth, born and raised in a specific time and place, who is searching for a way to break away from these conditions. This inspirational story in the face of social poverty is a true story. Ron also enters the charged lives of human beings in the sport of boxing, for whom it really is life. Face covering required through presentation and book signing, gloves/hand sanitizers available, tables socially distanced and restricted to five per 10-top. $30.
