Join us for a conversation and Q&A with Amy Padnani, creator of the New York Times project Overlooked, which tells the stories of remarkable people whose deaths were never reported by the paper. She launched the series in 2018 after joining the Times’s Obituaries desk and noticing that its coverage was dominated by white men. Overlooked began with the stories of 15 women, and has since included people of color and subjects from the L.G.B.T.Q. and disability communities. Amy will be in conversation with Harry Weil, Vice President of Education and Public Programs for Greenwood Cemetery.
