DESCRIPTION:As part of his international book tour through the US, Canada and the UK, 
 renowned, lifelong activist, sociologist and educator George Lakey will 
 return to The Green Arcade to discuss his new memoir Dancing With History: 
 A Life For Peace And Justice.\n\nFrom his first arrest in the Civil Rights 
 era to his most recent during a climate justice march at the age of 83, 
 George Lakey has committed his life to building a better world through 
 movements for justice. Lakey draws readers into the center of 
 history-making events, telling often serious stories with playfulness and 
 intimacy. In this memoir, he describes the personal, political, and 
 theoretical—coming out as bisexual to his Quaker community while known as 
 a church leader and family man, protesting against the war in Vietnam by 
 delivering medical supplies through the naval blockade in the South China 
 Sea and risking his life as an unarmed bodyguard for Sri Lankan human 
 rights lawyers.\n\nLakey recounts his experience living out the tension 
 between commitment to family and mission. Drawing strength from his 
 community to fight cancer, survive painful parenting struggles, and create 
 networks to help prevent activist burnout, this book shows readers how to 
 find hope in even the darkest times through strategic, joyful 
 activism.\n\nGeorge Lakey is the author of numerous books including the 
 iconic A Manual for Direct Action: Strategy and Tactics for Civil Rights 
 and All Other Nonviolent Protest Movements, with Martin Oppenheimer; Viking 
 Economics: How the Scandinavians Got It Right And How We Can Too; and How 
 We Win: A Guide to Nonviolent Direct Action Campaigning. A new documentary 
 film is currently being made about George's fascinating life. For more info
