Selma Remembrance Event: Freedom's Unfinished Journey
Selma Remembrance Event: Freedom's Unfinished Journey
Please join us on Sunday, March 15th at the St. James Episcopal Church in Keene for “Freedom’s Unfinished Journey.”
Each year, Open Democracy, along with a coalition of voting rights and human rights organizations, commemorates "Bloody Sunday" with a Selma Remembrance Event. This year, we honor Jonathan Daniels, born on March 20, 1939, in Keene and an Episcopal seminarian and civil rights activist. In 1965, Daniels joined the civil rights movement in Selma, where he was murdered.
The event runs from 1:30-3:30 and scheduled speakers are:
Rev. Elsa Worth, Welcome
Olivia Zink from Open Democracy
Deborah Opramolla, Following Jonathan Daniels Example Meet the Team here at Disability Rights Center NH
Prof. Larry "Lawrence" Benaquist, made a documentary "Here am I, send me. The Journey of Jonathan Daniels."
We'll also have a short film, light refreshments and music!
Please park in the rear of the church and enter through the back door. Go to the second floor. There is a lift for those that need it.
This event is cosponsored by Disability Rights Center, NH Peace Action, NH Center for Justice & Equity.
