From a UW press release:

Nationally acclaimed Author Alexandra Fuller will discuss her book, “The Legend of Colton Bryant” Wednesday, March 24, at 6 p.m. in the University of Wyoming College of Education auditorium.

She is the first speaker in a three-part series, “The Accidental Activist,” that will showcase the extraordinary efforts of individuals who fell into their roles as activists. The Good Mule Project sponsors the series.

Fuller will speak on behalf of her campaign to gain greater safety protections for workers in Wyoming’s extractive industries and touch on topics of social justice and activism in the state. Her book details the life of Colton Bryant, a young Wyoming oil worker who in 2006 fell to his death from a drilling platform.

A reception will follow the talk.
