During her long and productive life, she amassed an extraordinary archive of letters, photographs, and memorabilia that chronicle her work as an activist and organizer, including her journal from her famous walk across the US, the campaign reform banner she carried, and a pair of her iconic campaign shoes.<\/p>\n<p>Her archives are being donated to KSC. The Granny D Collection will be a cornerstone of the Mason Library\u2019s New Hampshire Social Justice Collection, intended to be actively used by students, scholars, and citizens, who will not just look at the collection but work with the archival items to develop new scholarly and community-based work. The NH Social Justice Collection also includes holdings relating to the civil rights worker and Episcopal seminarian Jonathan M. Daniels, Christine Sweeney and her landmark civil rights case, NH Senator Junie Blaisdell, and the work of the socially conscious NH filmmaker Louis de Rochemont.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.keene.edu\/newsevents\/default.cfm?\">More information. \u2026 <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NH Governor John Lynch proclaimed March 10, 2011, as \u201cRemembering Granny D Day\u201d in the state, in honor of Doris \u201cGranny D\u201d Haddock&#8217;s unrelenting advocacy for such issues as campaign finance reform, civic education, and environmental protection and her U.S. Senate run at the age of 94.
