Deborah Rudacille Reads the Chapter, “Liberty,” from her book, “Roots of Steel”
from William Hughes
On Sunday afternoon, May 23, 2010, author Deborah Rudacille read from her new nonfiction book, “Roots of Steel: Boom and Bust in an American Mill Town.” It’s the moving saga of Sparrows Point, a company town and steelmaking plant, once owned and operated by Bethlehem Steel. In its heyday, the plant employed about 36,000 employees. The event took place at the Crystal Moll Gallery, in Federal Hill, in Baltimore, MD. Ms. Moll, who is also an artist, served as the hostess for the reading and introduced Ms. Rudacille. “Kirkus Reviews” said of Ms. Rudacille’s tome, “An affecting portrait of decaying loop on the Rust Belt...[She] has delivered a book that would do Studs Terkel proud, partaking of his oral-historical approach to the past, at turns, imbued with pro-Labor spirit throughout.”
