Today's Strange Fruit Mention of the Day is uber local to the RFC office. It comes from Northampton, MA where a literary gathering, the WriteAngles Conference, organized by the Straw Dogs Writers Guild, will be taking place on Sat., April 6, after a five year hiatus. The keynote address will be given by Shanta Lee, the award-winning poet, visual artist and journalist.
The organizers will also award Lee with the Abel Meeropol Social Justice Writing Award, "which honors a writer whose work promotes social and political change through literature." The award is partially funded from royalties from Abel Meeropol's iconic anti-lynching song, "Strange Fruit."
