A busy week for Stetson Kennedy!

It has been an exciting week for the legendary Stetson Kennedy, the subject of Spark Media's upcoming documentary Stetson Kennedy Unmasked.

This last weekend, the 94-year old warrior celebrated his birthday by attended the One Nation Working Together Rally in Washington DC. He joined a special youth rally sponsored by NAACP and One Nation youth organizations in the morning and then made his way to the Lincoln Memorial where he enthusiastically worked his way to the front of the crowd to see the prestigious lineup of speakers.

"It's been more than three quarters of a century since President Roosevelt succeeded in bringing together organized labor, the NAACP, and other civil rights groups to attack the first meltdown, " Stetson told the crew, "I was there in 1932, and I'm here now."

Once he returned to Florida, Stetson has wasted no time - tonight he is speaking at a special screening of "Soul of a People" at the Matheson Museum in Gainesville. The event is co-sponsored by the Matheson, the Civic Media Center, and the Alachua County Library District. Please click here to see a Gainesville Sun article about the event.
