- 11 a.m. -- The Orange County Chapter of the American Red Cross and the Kenan-Flagler Business School are sponsoring a blood drive until 3:30 p.m. Appointments are encouraged. Please contact Christopher Harris at charris@unc.edu. All donors will receive a coupon for a free Chick-fil-A sandwich and $5 off Domino's pizza.
-3:30 p.m. -- There will be a book reading at Bull's Head Bookshop until 5 p.m. with local author Gwendoline Fortune. Fortune, a historian and sociologist, reads from her new novel, "Growing Up Nigger Rich." It is a fictional novel; however, it deals with factual events and social situations about women, racism and a rare look at a wealthy clan of blacks within South Carolina. It portrays a family who even in the 1930s and '40s attained a college education. This truly gripping novel encompasses class distinctions within black society. Fortune is a sixth-generation college graduate. See http://zenarts.com/gunr for more details.
-4 p.m. -- Live, learn, and explore this summer on the Kyoto Summer Program in Japanese culture.
