Culture Speaks: Join seasoned Chautauqua performer Betty Jean Steinshouer for a special program about the woman for whom Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School is named. Most people know her only as one of the original advocates for Everglades National Park. That is true, but she was much more. She was a rabble-rouser, an outspoken campaigner against the prison work system, school segregation, and rampant development in South Florida, among other issues. This program will be presented in costume and character, with a discussion to follow, for all ages, a month before the one-year anniversary of the tragic school shooting at nearby Parkland. It will be a celebration of community activism and Florida history.
RSVP for this Free Event HERE or by calling (954)340-5000.
This program is sponsored by the Florida Humanities Council with funds from the State of Florida, Department of State, Division of Cultural Affairs and the Florida Council on Arts and Culture.
