A Duet: Brother Blue & Ruth Edmonds Hill

Submitted by Anonymous on Mon, 2009-11-30 14:08

Brother Blue to Ruth: We've been together a long time. You've heard me tell many stories, and I've watched you in your work, collecting oral histories, over the years. But though we know a great deal about each others work and each others aspirations in the work, there is much that we don't know. Let us ask questions as though we don't know the answers, and ask questions we've never asked each other before. How should we begin?
Ruth: Let's just start. What is your life work?
B: I'm a storyteller. That's my passion, my madness, my calling from God.

Mental Health Patient Rights: Survivors Gather to Show Support

    About 100 supporters gathered in room A-2 of the State House on September 23, 2009 to demonstrate in favor of the mental heath bills being heard there. The aura in the room was outstanding, brimming with a sense of companionship and force of will, both of which were strong. The network for participants was so comprehensive that peer support persons set up outside the hearing room for those who might be triggered by the day’s events or testimonies.
