Stanton was the featured speaker at the spring convocation at Union College. She returned to campus after 42 years, the latter of which have been spent as a civil rights journalist and author. Her 1998 book, From Selma to Sorrow: The Life and Death of Viola Liuzzo, was nominated in 1999 for a Pulitzer Prize. Stanton told students that in order to fly, eagles are poised with great flexibility while in air. As the current of wind changes, so does the eagle’s pattern. Eagles soar, they drift and they glide, she said. “Life demands the same flexibility from each of us,” Stanton added, and that, “riding the winds of change can be both exhilarating and terrifying.”
