Hi, hey, hello! On Feb 28th at @symposiumbooks.bsky.social, I’m interviewing @judedoyle.bsky.social on their book DILF: Did I Leave Feminism? If you’re in Providence, swing through! ✨

Joanne Bland, lifelong Civil Rights activist and founder of Selma's Foot Soldiers Park, dies Bland grew up in Selma and became involved in the Civil Rights Movement as a child foot soldier in the 1960s, participating in the historic Selma voting rights marches, including Bloody Sunday.

Joanne Bland, one of the youngest people to march on “Bloody Sunday,” has died. She was 72.

"By the time I was 11-years-old, I had been arrested at least 13 documented times”

Thank you!
