University of Kentucky alumna Dana Canedy, the first African American woman senior vice president and publisher of Simon & Schuster, is the author of “A Journal for Jordan,” about life with her war-hero partner, and the journal he left for their infant son, before being killed in combat in Iraq. It is currently being adapted into a feature film directed by Denzel Washington and starring Michael B. Jordan.
In conversation with former Courier-Journal Editor Rick Green, Canedy shares her thoughts on the nation and the world as it pertains to the uncertain times we live in.
