Storyteller and actress Judith Black will bring Lucy Stone to life on stage. There was a time in our national history when a married woman did not have legal rights to the money she earned, the property she inherited, or the children she bore. During this same era citizens of the United States thought it a legal and rational pursuit to buy and trade human beings. Lucy Stone, (born Brookfield Massachusetts 1818), decided this was not the nation she wanted to grow old in and spent her life speaking out. Crisscrossing the country, she spoke eloquently and passionately about the most important issues of her time. A contemporary of Susan B Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Lucy Stone, the best known female orator of her era, will appear at World Fellowship. She will address the issues of woman’s rights and abolition plus share with her audience chapters from own life.
