 INTERNATIONAL WORKING WOMAN'S DAY SPECIAL - LUCY ELLA GONZALES PARSONS  
 American Revolutionary: circa 1853-1942  "more dangerous than a thousand 
 rioters." - The Chicago Police Department  Join Melody Cooper, actress and 
 award winning playwright of  Day of Reckoning,  Freedome Bradley and 
 Michael Kennealy along with director for MultiStages  production of Day of 
 Reckoning  as we explore the politics, civil rights,  worker's rights, and 
 a passionate interracial marriage in the 1800s.  Building Bridges presents 
 the remarkable life of Lucy Parsons, an African,  Native and 
 Mexican-American, revolutionary, anarchist, labor activist from  the late 
 nineteenth and 20th century.  Her politically-active life, as a  civil 
 rights and worker's rights advocate spans two centuries.  Lucy Parsons, 
 never faltered in her political and labor activism, even  after her husband 
 Albert was hung along with seven other anarchists after  the Haymarket 
 riots in Chicago.  She led tens of thousands of workers into  the streets 
 in mass protests across the country.  Defying both racial and  gender 
 discrimination, she was at the forefront of movements for social  justice 
 her entire life.  Lucy Parson's fiery, powerful orations that invoked fear 
 in  authority nationwide will be brought to life through playwright Melody  
 Cooper's interpretation and dramatic readings.  As well as breeding new  
 life into this woman who sparked rebellion and discontent among poor and  
 exploited workers she will offer historical analysis as to why Lucy Parson, 
  active in the fight against oppression until her death at the age of 89, 
 is  as necessary today as she ever was.  \n
