In need of a little inspiration? Think one person can’t make a difference? Well, a great-grandmother from New Hampshire inspired the nation and showed that one person can have a pretty big impact. Come back to campus on Saturday, September 24, and help celebrate the opening of the Granny D Collection at the Mason Library<\/a>, which is now the proud home of this iconic political activist’s nationally-recognized letters, photographs, and memorabilia.<\/p>\n

At 1 p.m., come to the library’s west wing (first floor) to participate in a facilitated discussion about Doris “Granny D” Haddock<\/a> and her legacy with several speakers, including by Ken Hechler<\/a>, Molly Kelly<\/a>, KSC poli-sci prof and state rep Charles Weed<\/a>, Andrea Raila<\/a>, Kris Roberts<\/a>, Jim Rubens<\/a>, and Ruth Meyer, and a video message from Bill McKibben<\/a> and greetings from Russ Feingold<\/a>\u00a0 and Jeanne Shaheen<\/a>. At 2 p.m., the Mason Library Archives & Special Collections will unveil a new bronze of Granny D, and Dennis Burke, her biographer, will speak on \u201cIf You Want to Be Free, Be Free: The Happy Fearlessness of Granny D and Democracy.\u201d <\/p>\n

Then at 3 p.m., a folk music festival on the lawn in front of the L.P. Young Student Center will include a song circle with music honoring Granny D performed by students, faculty, staff, and community members. Of course, there will also be a special performance by Tattoo<\/a>, the funky band that toured with her and helped set the tone for her rallies. Bring your lawn chair or blanket and your undaunted spirit! (Rain location: Mabel Brown Room, Student Center). All the events are free and open to the public.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
