Nicolette Hahn Niman, author of the Linn Area Reads selection “Righteous Porkchop” will be featured on Friday, May 11 at 7 p.m. Hahn Niman first became immersed in issues surrounding food production when she served as the senior attorney for Waterkeeper, an environmental group headed by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. That work is the jumping off point for “Righteous Porkchop.” In March and April, the Linn Area Reads program will host several related events.
