MICKLETON — The documentary film, Citizen George, will be shown at Mickleton Friends Meetinghouse on Sunday, Jan. 11 at 1 p.m. George Lakey, a Quaker activist and subject of the movie, will be on hand to talk about his life’s work as a “joyful revolutionary” following the showing of the film.
Since George was 19, he has asked himself, “Where can I make a contribution? Where am I led?” Now 87, he has been led to fight for civil rights, LGBTQIA+ rights, environmental justice, labor justice, human rights in Sri Lanka, as well as anti-Vietnam activism.
His long resume includes receiving the Martin Luther King, Jr. Peace Award and the Paul Robeson Social Justice Award. He has trained people on five continents in non-violent protests.
George’s unpretentious enthusiasm is uplifting. We hope that seeing this film and meeting George in person will be an inspiration for you.
Mickleton Friends Meetinghouse is located at 413 Kings Highway in Mickleton. Everyone is welcome. The film is free to the public.
