On Thursday Feb. 22, 2018 Storymobile was at the East Side Freedom Library in Saint Paul to celebrate Meridel LeSueur.
Meridel LeSueur, one of the great voices of the 20th century, was born on this day in 1900. Her writings were grounded in the grassroots experiences and stories of women, working people, the disenfranchised and dispossessed. Her immense love and respect for the power of the people and the power of the word was ever present in her poetry, novels, and essays. Meridel’s work touched generations of artists and activists, from Minnesota and the Midwest to the wide expanse of this country and this world.
Storymobile joined Meridel's family and fans for presentations and performances of Meridel’s work as well as original work by established and emerging artists.
