“The time I arrived for Grade 10 at (London) Central, social circles were pretty well established and I was a total stranger, a hick from a farm, an outsider.”
Award-winning scientist, environmentalist, author and broadcaster David Suzuki — recently voted the fifth greatest Canadian in a CBC debate — has always felt he doesn’t belong.
So much so, in fact, that the former Londoner wanted to title his new book The Outsider.
Instead it’s simply called, David Suzuki: The Autobiography and he’ll be reading from it tomorrow night at the Grand Theatre, where he’ll also get a Green Umbrella award from the Urban League for community citizenship and involvement.
