Join us for a reading and book signing of "Life of Libby" with co-author Heather Shafter! This book was written over the course of 10 years of interviews with Libby Frank, during which Heather collected inspiring first-person accounts of a lifetime of activism. Libby Frank began her activism with public swimming pool desegregation actions and support for farm and factory worker strikes in the 1940s. During the Vietnam War, Libby was Director of the Bergen County, NJ Peace Center, which provided draft counseling and hosted Jane Fonda (and others) to speak against the Vietnam War. In the 1970s, Libby volunteered with the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF) Middle East Committee, becoming the Executive Director of the U.S. section of WILPF in 1981. Libby relied on her bonds with fellow activists, folk music, and her sense of humor to keep her going through decades of activism.
Complimentary refreshments will be provided.
