Tilla Durr returns to the Table

On the evening of October 25, we gathered around a table for dinner with Tilla Durr, social work, social activist and scathing writer of serious commentary. While Stevens Brook in Bridgton, Maine raged along under our windows, our mill/studio was once again alive with people considering justice and peace because that is how they live. Two women who are driving the national Racial Profiling campaign to pass legislation against racial profiling, Ann Patch, both an avid tango dancer and NAACP member, Stephen Oliver, designer and social change artist kept the conversation going for hours. Tilla, who grew up in the South in the belly of the Civil Rights movement reminded us of the times that she lived through, and her parents lived through during the McCarthy era. Comparing those notes with what we are hearing and seeing today, even over and above Fox News, in our local neighborhoods, is warning to pay attention and participate in knowing justice. more to follow.
