| Details | Organizer, Nonviolent Strategist and Storyteller George Lakey at USNH and streaming online. Bring cash and checks to buy books! Dancing Through History is an apt title for a memoir by a man who has spent six decades at the forefront of watershed human rights struggles, who plays a wicked piano and who loves to let loose with resounding belly laughs. George Lakey, 85, was a trainer for the students who went South for Mississippi Freedom Summer and other civil rights campaigns. In more recent years, as part of Earth Quaker Action Team, he was a leader of the successful effort to convince a major bank to defund the brutal form of coal mining known as mountaintop removal. In between, he helped activists train and participated in non-violent struggles for freedom around the world. As a gay man, he’s participated in the LGBTQ+ movement and as the son of the working class he’s brought his unique perspective into sometimes elite organizing spaces. His manual for activism, How We Win, will also be available for sale. More information at our Facebook event: https://www.facebook.com/events/1531998370558517?ref=newsfeed.
