Elsie Fox: Portrait of an Activist
Elsie Fox gave a speech in Bozeman for a 2006 Mother's Day Peace Rally organized by Montana Women For. Ninety-nine year old Fox stepped to the podium, shook her fist at the crowd, and challenged everyone present: "We, the people, must have solidarity¦unity! The voice of action must be heard, by the people, for the people, from the people. We, the people, can take back our country. We can make a difference!" Stories are like that-- they not only connect us, they do even more: they become insistent. Eventually, a personal story can become too big and too powerful and to hold all to yourself"it demands attention and insists on a voice. Karen Stevenson, who lives near Miles City where she continues to be inspired by the eastern Montana landscape and the people who live there, authored the book: Elsie Fox: Portrait of an Activist. Stevenson will discuss the interviews with Elsie that culminated in the writing of this book, and the ways in which Elsie's voice still resonates-- we can make a difference!
