About\u00a0Fighting Time<\/em>, by co-authors Amy Banks and Isaac Knapper<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In 1979, 16-year-old Isaac Knapper was wrongfully convicted and sentenced to life in prison for the murder in New Orleans of UMaine History Professor Ronald Banks. However, Knapper was freed 13 years later after it was revealed that prosecutors had suppressed evidence that cleared Knapper of the crime.<\/p>\n

Professor Banks\u2019 daughter, Amy Banks, was also 16 years old at the time of her father\u2019s murder. Twenty-six years later, she and Knapper met and began working together to process the horrific circumstances of the murder and judicial failures.<\/p>\n

Now close friends and advocates for racial justice and reform, the two have collaborated on\u00a0Fighting Time<\/em>. As reviewer Jennifer Thompson wrote, \u201cFighting Time<\/em>\u00a0is not just a book about the injustice of a wrongful conviction, but a love story of the capacity of human beings to find power in the pain and healing in the harm.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fighting Time\u00a0will be published on November 5th. Advance copies of the book will be available for sale at Banks and Knapper\u2019s October 21st presentation and at The Briar Patch bookstore in Bangor.<\/em><\/p>\n

This event is supported by a generous grant from Bangor Savings Bank.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
