Jennifer Thompson, co-author of the 2014-15 GPC Reads selection, “Picking Cotton: Our Memoir of Injustice and Redemption,” is returning to Georgia Perimeter College March 18 for two talks.

Thompson will speak at 1 p.m. on Dunwoody Campus in NC-1100. That event will be followed by a student reception and book signing at 4:30 p.m. in the Fine Arts Auditorium on Clarkston Campus. Then, also at Clarkston, she will give a talk, followed by a question-and-answer session, at 7 p.m. in the Cole Auditorium.

“Picking Cotton” is about Thompson and Ronald Cotton, who was wrongly convicted of Thompson’s rape and served 11 years in prison. Thompson chose Cotton in a photo lineup, resulting in his wrongful incarceration until DNA evidence exonerated him. The two later became friends and collaborated on their book.

Other scheduled GPC Reads events include multiple screenings of the film, “Conviction: The Incredible True Story of Betty Anne Waters,” all at 1 p.m. on the following dates: March 25, NC-1100, Dunwoody Campus; March 26, SF-2100, Decatur Campus; and March 30, 2N-1100, Newton Campus.

Also scheduled is a March 31 visit by Aimee Maxwell, executive director of the Georgia Innocence Project, as part of the Newton Campus Daffodil Festival. The non-profit Innocence Project works on exonerating prisoners wrongfully incarcerated through DNA evidence.
