Arshay Cooper visits Alliance Arshay Cooper, author of "A Most Beautiful Thing," the 2022 One Book One Community selection, visited Alliance on March 31, speaking at the Union Avenue United Methodist Church. The book was a memoir about Cooper's life growing up on the West Side of Chicago and becoming part of the first ever all-Black high school rowing team while attending Manley High. "I can’t do the work of eight. We need eight people to do the work, and we’ll get there much faster," said Cooper on several occasions during his talk, once noting that it was the first lesson that he learned from rowing. He had much more to say during his inspiring and entertaining talk.
