?Uncivil Disobedience? reading offers first-hand accounts of Sterling Hall bombing

?They were hell-bent on tearing down an institution.?
?I felt the ground shake. I had no idea what was going on.?
?As we approached University, we began to see debris.?

The stories of those affected when a bomb exploded outside of Sterling Hall on Aug. 24, 1970, killing one person and injuring three others, provide the basis for ?Uncivil Disobedience,? a play-in-progress by Mike Lawler and shared with the public Friday evening as a staged reading at the Overture Center.
