Rochester screening attracts a big crowd at Little Theatre, October 15, 2008
Wayne Howard - Great Lakes Committee Chair of the Sierra Club brought the Tour to his
local theater in Rochester and attracted a big crowd. He invited Miriam Kramer of Welfare Rights, the terrific organizer in the film, to speak at the event and he writes,
"It was wonderful! We had about 80-85 people and the Q & A went very well.
The audience asked great questions. It was joy to have Marian spend some time with all of us. She is truly a remarkable person. I am amazed by her work and her ability to mobilize and
inspire others. I can't think of anyone who would be more deserving of the
Purpose Prize (Miriam won the Purpose Prize for her work around water rights).
Wayne is hoping to organize a follow-up event, showing the film at RIT (Rochester Institute of Technology) in early December.
