Mother’s Day in the United States was initially developed in 1872 by Julia Ward Howe, who wrote the lyrics for the “Battle Hymn of the Republic.” It was to be a day dedicated to peace and truth. Fellow truth-tellers comedian Jimmy Tingle and ex-CIA analyst Mel Goodman will celebrate Mother’s Day’s origins by hosting a special screening of the controversial documentary, Uncovered. Goodman, who appears prominently in the film, will speak and answer questions. The proceeds benefit Voice of Democracy, a project of Peace Action. This event is co-sponsored by Women’s Action for New Directions (WAND).
Appropriate for children 12 and over.
