Barbara's obituary
Barbara was a civil rights activist in the 1960’s and did a film narrated by John Lewis. She also did a movie with Robert Frost and knew Stokely Carmichael. Probably a dozen other great luminaries of words and justice. No one will ever know how many as name dropping was far beneath her. What was most important to her was her work, whether it was as an anthropologist, a professor, a ballerina, working in the Civil Rights movement, or tracking and rehabilitating birds of prey, she dedicated herself to whatever worthy project with a full heart and a brilliant mind. She definitely left her mark, so please join us to celebrate her meaningful life and accomplishments.
