GO GRANNIES!!!
Grandmothers Against the War
Three elderly (but youthful) grandmothers flew to Berlin on March 16 to speak before peace groups there. The grannies are among the 18 grandmothers arrested and jailed on October 17 at the Times Square Recruiting Station in New York City when they tried to enlist.
The women, Molly Klopot, almost 87, Chair of the New York Branch of the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom, Joan Wile, 74, founder/director of Grandmothers Against the War, and Barbara Walker, 72, an assistant director of Grandmothers Against the War, were invited by Reverend Peter Kranz ...more
At the end of each meeting, Grandma Joan repeated the credo guiding the ladies, as espoused by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.:
"OUR LIVES BEGIN TO END THE DAY WE BECOME SILENT ABOUT THE THINGS THAT MATTER."
GOODNESS BLESS YOU!!!
