An Ordinary Man
Last week was an exciting one in the life of the Peay, since we inaugurated the first annual Peay Read and its associated lecture. This year, all our entering students were asked to read “An Ordinary Man,” by Paul Rusesabagina, whose heroism was the subject of the movie, Hotel Rwanda. Mr. Rusesabagina talked with his experiences in the 1990s, when he saved the lives of more than 1200 men, women, and children who took refuge in the hotel he managed from the genocide raging in Rwanda. I count it a great honor to have had the chance to meet him.
