Beth Brent writes: “What fun it was picking apples at the West Virginia USDA farm with a recently graduated group of Brunonians! I continue being grateful to Brown for encouraging what is still for me a life of art, activism, politics, and healing. For you theater lovers, check out the Contemporary American Theater Festival (CATF). As a new CATF trustee I am proud to serve their commitment to antiracism and anti-oppression work. For me, it is an extension of four years with Brown’s Racial Awareness Communications Exchange group and working from 1997 to 2015 with Congressman John Lewis, his staff, and the citizens of Selma on the Annual Congressional Civil Rights Pilgrimages to Selma. I have a son, Ryan, who is known for his generously contagious laugh, and my tough as nails, fourth-generation bricklayer, union loyalist spouse died in 2021—a loss for many. Keep on keeping on, friends!”
