Hammering Out Human Rights<br />

The Women’s International League for<br />

Peace and Freedom will be hosting an educational<br />

program for students and teachers on<br />

Eleanor Roosevelt: Hammering Out Human<br />

Rights at four high schools in Vermont:<br />

South Burlington High School in South<br />

Burlington, Peoples Academy High School<br />

in Morrisville, Rice Memorial High School in<br />

South Burlington, and Spaulding High<br />

School in Barre. The program in Barre at<br />

Spaulding HS is on October 9 from 2:12-3:05<br />

PM in the gym.<br />

The featured presenter is Susan Marie<br />

Frontczak of Storysmith, a scholar, playwright<br />

and performer who has presented<br />

living history programs around the world.<br />

Frontczak will be portraying Eleanor<br />

Roosevelt and her work with the UN on the<br />

Universal Declaration of Human Rights<br />

(DHR).<br />

This year marks the 70th Anniversary of<br />

the UDHR and Eleanor Roosevelt’s work<br />

chairing the committee that drafted this historic<br />

document: a testament to the enduring<br />

universality of the values of equality, justice,<br />

peace, and human dignity. The UDHR represents<br />

a milestone in the history of human<br />

rights, setting forth the 30 fundamental<br />

human rights that are to be universally protected.<br />

In this time of spreading nationalism and<br />

Norwich University Writers Series Presents<br />

Celebrated Author Rick Bass<br />

The Norwich University Writers Series<br />

welcomes author Rick Bass to campus at<br />

12:30 p.m. Thursday, October 10, in the<br />

Kreitzberg Library Multipurpose Room.<br />

This event is free and open to the public.<br />

The author of more than 30 books of fiction<br />

and nonfiction, Bass has received wide<br />

acclaim for his writing, including O. Henry<br />

Awards, numerous Pushcart Prizes, and fellowships<br />

from the National Endowment for<br />

the Arts, the Guggenheim Foundation, and<br />

the Mississippi Institute of Arts and Letters.<br />

His short fiction collection, “The Hermit’s<br />

Story” (2003), was named a Los Angeles<br />

Times Best Book of the Year, and another<br />

collection, “For a Little While: New and<br />

Selected Stories” (2016) won the prestigious<br />

Story Prize. He has had numerous stories<br />

and nonfiction works included in “Best<br />

American” anthologies. Several of his books<br />

have been named New York Times and Los<br />

Angeles Times Notable Books of the Year, as<br />

well as a New York Times Best Book of the<br />

Year. His 2009 book “Why I Came West” was<br />

a finalist for the National Book Award for<br />

Autobiography.<br />

His most recent nonfiction book, “The<br />

Traveling Feast” (2018), chronicles the<br />

author’s epic pilgrimage to thank the writers<br />

who influenced his life and work – including<br />

Peter Matthiessen, Denis Johnson, John<br />

Berger, David Sedaris, Joyce Carol Oates<br />

and Terry Tempest Williams, among others<br />

Income-eligible students average nearly<br />

$6,000 between the Pell and Vermont grants<br />

– that’s money that doesn’t need to be paid<br />

back.<br />

Students and parents will each need to<br />

create their own FSA ID a few days prior to<br />

the workshop by visiting https://fsaid.ed.<br />

gov/npas/index.htm. Check out the VSAC<br />

website for a list of other information to<br />

bring to be ready to successfully complete<br />

the applications.<br />

Students and parents also can ask questions<br />

and learn about the college financial<br />

aid process, including how to apply for<br />

scholarships. Internet access will be available<br />

and space is limited.<br />

Dates and locations for the workshops are<br />

available online at http://www.vsac.org/<br />

events/list. Information on VSAC’s college<br />

planning resources can be found at www.<br />

gross violations of human rights across the<br />

globe, Eleanor Roosevelt noted that it is necessary<br />

of us all to work for human rights and<br />

peace. “Where, after all, do universal human<br />

rights begin? In small places, close to home<br />

– so close and so small that they cannot be<br />

seen on any maps of the world. Unless these<br />

rights have meaning there, they have little<br />

meaning anywhere. Without concerned citizen<br />

action to uphold them close to home, we<br />

shall look in vain for progress in the larger<br />

world.”<br />

Many individuals in the United States are<br />

unfamiliar with the UDHR. Frontczak’s presentation<br />

will help students learn about,<br />

promote, engage and reflect on human rights<br />

with the goal of encouraging everyone to<br />

stand up for human rights, every day. As<br />

Jamaican Bob Marley sang: “Get up, stand<br />

up, Stand up for your rights. Get up, stand<br />

up, Don’t give up the fight.”<br />

The program is supported in part by the<br />

Vermont Humanities Council, American<br />

Civil Liberties Union of VT, Amnesty<br />

International Champlain Valley, WILPF US,<br />

Anne Slade Frey Charitable Trust, Ben and<br />

Jerry’s Foundation, Price Chopper’s Golub<br />

Foundation, WILPF Burlington, Green<br />

Mountain Fund of the Vermont Community<br />

Foundation, and the Bernard and Sandra<br />

Otterman Foundation.<br />

– by cooking them supper.<br />

His stories, articles and essays have<br />

appeared in The Paris Review, The New<br />

Yorker, The Atlantic Monthly, Harper’s, The<br />

New York Times Sunday Magazine, The<br />

Washington Post, and elsewhere. He has<br />

served as a contributing editor to Audubon,<br />

OnEarth, Field & Stream, Big Sky Journal,<br />

and Sports Afield. Bass is on the faculty at<br />

the University of Southern Maine’s<br />

Stonecoast Master of Fine Arts program,<br />

and has taught creative writing for more<br />

than 30 years. He lives in the Yaak Valley in<br />

northwest Montana.<br />

The Dallas Morning News said of Bass’<br />

short fiction, “Probably no American writer<br />

since Hemingway has written about man-innature<br />

more beautifully or powerfully than<br />

Rick Bass.” Vermont’s own Howard Frank<br />

Mosher called Bass “one of a dwindling<br />

handful of American fiction writers still celebrating<br />

the importance of place, the natural<br />

world.” Legendary writer and editor<br />

George Plimpton called Bass “one of the<br />

best writers of his generation,” while celebrated<br />

novelist Carl Hiassen declared, “Rick<br />

Bass is a national treasure.”<br />
