This program is associated with the Filson’s People, Passage, Place exhibit. This exhibit will be open for viewing for 30 minutes prior to the lecture.Kentucky is more than just basketball, bourbon, and horses. It’s also known for the citizens and activists who have shaped the political landscape to help make the Commonwealth an equitable place to live for all Kentuckians. Farrah Alexander, author of Resistance in the Bluegrass, will discuss the historic ways in which Kentuckians have been, and continue to be, models in fights over racial injustice, economic inequality, education, climate change, immigration, political representation, LGBTQ+ rights, and women’s rights—ordinary people making extraordinary impact in the Bluegrass.
Farrah Alexander is a writer whose work focuses on feminism, parenting, social justice, politics, and current events. Her work has been featured in HuffPost, BUST, and Scary Mommy. She is the author of Raising the Resistance: A Mother's Guide to Practical Activism.
