Love Wins
Washington Post Reporter Debbie Cenziper
Pugh Hall Ocora
University of Florida College of Journalism and Communications graduate Debbie Cenziper will speak at 6 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 8, in the Pugh Hall Ocora about her new book Love Wins. The book, co-authored with Jim Obergefell, who was the lead plaintiff in the Obergefell v. Hodges case that led to the Supreme Court’s landmark marriage equality ruling, tells the story of the many people behind the groundbreaking Supreme Court case that ultimately legalized same-sex marriage and why this was one of the most important, national civil rights victories in decades.
Cenziper is a Pulitzer Prize winning investigative reporter with the Washington Post. Her reporting often centers on social justice, civil rights and disenfranchisement issues. This event is co-sponsored by UF LGBT Affairs, the College of Journalism and Communications and the Bob Graham Center for Public Service. The program is free and open to the public and will be streamed live on the Bob Graham Center website www.bobgrahamcenter.ufl.edu.
