Library Campaign
Cupertino 2009 Silicon Valley Reads
Brian Copeland, author comes to Cupertino
Brian Copeland came to Cupertino for a book signing and author talk at the Cupertino Community Center for the Cupertino 2009 Silicon Valley Reads. He spoke about his book, NOT A GENUINE BLACK MAN: MY LIFE AS AN OUTSIDER. He was a dynamic speaker and reached the hearts of many who experienced similar events in life from being outsiders.
Brian was joined by a local panel of long-time Cupertino residents, Steve Ting and Sheila Mohan. Steve and Sheila discussed how each, one from the perspective of a Chinese-American and the other from that of an Indo-American, has been affected by some of the same "outsider" issues described in Brian's book.
After the panel discussion, officers of the Cupertino Library Foundation announced the four winners of the Essay Contest and presented their prizes to each of them:
1st Place, $500: Geneva
Ebisu
2nd Place, $300: Emily
Yi
3rd Place, $200: Nan
Lee
3rd Place, $200: Geeta Subramonian
