This came in through one of the mailing lists to which I subscribe, from Melanie Kaye/Kantrowitz:
Dear friends of Grace,
Everyone who loved Grace (many many) wants to do something now/soon, in addition to whatever formal memorials will be planned.
In this spirit of mourning and loving and carrying it on, we invite you to be part of a peace vigil in Grace's honor, in the Village where she lived and did political work for so many years. We chose the Jefferson Market Library--Grace and friends did peace vigils there, and it's around the corner from a garden that used to be the WomenÌ¢âÂã¢s House of Detention, where Grace did some time.
So on Sept. 12th at 5:00 p.m., join us for an hour or so in front of
the Jefferson Market Library 425 Ave of the Americas (6th Ave.) & 10th St
Bring musical instruments (including pots and pans), anti-war signs, and signs that say GRACE PALEY PRESENTE or WE HONOR GRACE PALEY to pin to our backs or fronts. We might want to go into the garden (if it's open) and read some of GraceÌ¢âÂã¢s writing to each other.
Please send out the word to all your lists, and maybe even make a few phone calls.
