Description

Storytelling and Book Signing with John Gilman, Footsoldier for Peace and Justice

"Once we die, all that remains are the rememberances of what we've done while we were here"

Because of this belief John Gilman felt compelled to write down his life story. This book offers accounts of a man who started his activism in high school; who is a highly decorated veteran of World War II; who proudly proclaimed his progressive beliefs in the face of constant harassment; and who has spent a lifetime defending those who have been unjustly persecuted. His book Foot Soldier for Peace and Justice is a candidly told story of one man's efforts to make a difference in the world.

Come hear the stories of one of our own peace activists, John Gilman, Sunday, February 21st from 3:00-5:00pm at the Friends Meeting House (3224 N Gordon Pl). Autographed books will be available for sale.
