'Extraordinary Birder' host Christian Cooper brings his memoir 'Better Living Through Birding: Notes From a Black Man in the Natural World' to the L.A. Times Book Club.
In a 69-second video that went viral, Cooper recorded his encounter with a white woman named Amy Cooper , as she refused to put her dog on a leash and then called 911 to report “an African American man threatening my life.”
The 2020 video took on added significance as another recording surfaced, made that same day in Minneapolis. This one was nine minutes long, showing a police officer using his knee to crush the life out of a Black man named. As Floyd’s death triggered a summer of protest, Cooper’s video continued to have its own impact, sparking discussion about racial bias and white privilege.
Cooper decided to embrace his unexpected fame. “I realized there was an opportunity here to keep doing the things I’d always been doing, but doing them on a bigger stage, a bigger platform, and reach more people,”“Better Living Through Birding” tells the story of his life up to and since that fateful day in Central Park, interspersed with practical birding tips and mini-essays on the pleasures of birding.
