INTERVIEW

In this edition of Catalyst Radio, we are joined by oral historian and activist Rosalie Riegle. Riegle was in town earlier this week as part of her lecture tour that included several stops in Michigan. Brought to town by Institute for Global Education, the retired educator and grandmother of seven is on tour speaking about her recent books on peace movements and war resistance.

Her books include “Crossing the Line: Nonviolent Resisters Speak Out For Peace,” and “Doing Time For Peace: Resistance, Family, and Community.”

 

Music featured in this episode of Catalyst Radio is from Sweet Honey In The Rock, with the traditional piece “Study War No More” – sometimes known as “Down By The Riverside.”

The Rapidian, a program of the 501(c)3 nonprofit Community Media Center, relies on the community’s support to help cover the cost of training reporters and publishing content.

We need your help.
