Such an event! These photos reflect the joy of being together and being inspired by the tributes to Abby Kelley Foster for her words. Her words! Her words which were a catalyst to the woman's rights movement.
Yours For Humanity – Abby was written by Carolyn Howe and Karen Board Moran for Worcester Women’s History Project. It has been performed by Lynne McKenney Lydick audiences totaling over 20,000people.
Thank you to the staff at Abby's House for putting together a wonderful luncheon.
"As a board member of Thoreau Farm, the birth house of Henry David Thoreau, I've seen many an historic re-enactor at work. While most of them are fine historians, very few have developed acting ability. the difference in power and engagement brought about by Ms. McKenney Lydick's obvious acting talent and experience makes an enormous difference in both the experience of the performance as well as the staying power of what has been learned. I was moved and changed by what I saw in Yours for Humanity - Abby." - Deborah Bier, PhD
"Sorry I didn't have a chance to talk after your AMAZING performance!! It was spectacular and my family loved it too!" Kelly Brissette, Abby's House Board Member
