was 100 years ago, on Aug. 18, 1920, that the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was ratifi ed and signed by President Woodrow Wilson. The Amendment states, “The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.”

The amendment was the culmination of a long struggle for women’s suffrage. The idea had been debated in Congress for years. Republican Sen. James Mann, of Illinois, proposed a House resolu-tion to approve the Susan B. Anthony Amendment for granting women the right to vote. Between Jan-uary 1918 and June 19, 1919, the U.S. House and Senate voted on the bill fi ve times. Each vote was

extremely close, with Southern Demo-crats in heated opposition to giving wom-en the right to vote.

For this year’s local celebration, Webster and Schaaf have been heav-ily involved in planning and organizing events. And that Christmas gift was the impetus for one of them.

The thoughtful gift came from a friend who knew of Webster’s passion for the history of women’s rights. It was a color-

they’ve been active in women’s rights issues for years. Webster serves on the board of Indiana’s League of Women Voters. Schaaf is president of the Michigan City Commission for Women and vice president of the League of Women Voters of LaPorte County.

The gift arrived on the cusp of 2020, a landmark year in the story of women’s rights in America. It

ful picture puzzle celebrating the 100th anniversary of the passing of the 19th Amendment: a 500-piece, round puzzle titled “Votes for Women.” Prominently positioned within this pantheon of notable women was a black woman by the name of Naomi Anderson who was born in Michigan City!

The sisters had never heard of her and were ex-cited she was from their hometown. They imme-diately began to do some research, uncovering a previously unhailed hero-ine of the movement: a woman whose roots lay right here in Michigan City.

To quote Schaaf ’s re-search paper, which she wrote on the subject, “Michigan City has re-discovered one of its true heroines in the struggle for women’s right to vote and to fi ght racial oppression; Naomi Bowman Talbert Anderson.” The extended last name is derived from the fact that she sur-vived several husbands, which attests to her forti-tude. To continue quoting Schaaf ’s text, Anderson “was known throughout the United States for her eloquence, moral force and life of activism, gaining a reputation for giving fi ery controversial speeches. And she did this fi ghting for a dual oppression for being both black and female.”

As Schaaf and Webster continued their research, they became excited about all the information that came to light. Schaaf began to assemble all the facts and draft a research paper, to put all of the informa-tion in logical order and perspective.

Learning about Anderson’s accomplishments and sharing them with the world has become their pas-sion. To continue quoting Schaaf, “Research quickly showed that Naomi Anderson was an important and well known leader for women’s and African-Ameri-can rights.” The sisters were shocked no one from

their hometown had heard of her. Even the offi cial archives of local history museums could shed no light on her life.

An Internet search offered a glimpse of what Schaaf called a “rich and rewarding life.” Mentions of her and her work could be found in hundreds of articles published from 1868 to 1899.

Since learning of her existence, Schaaf has read extensively about Anderson and prepared a bibliog-raphy of books and articles she discovered.

I was excited to learn about these discoveries, en-couraging the sisters, as I encourage all, to share their fi ndings with the Michigan City Historical Society/Old Lighthouse Museum, as well as the LaPorte County Historical Society archives so this knowledge is preserved for future generations.

All of the following quotations are taken from Schaaf ’s research paper.

It is interesting to note that several articles make clear Anderson’s aversion to the term “African American.” A July 25, 1898, article in the San Fran-cisco Call states, “Mrs. Naomi Anderson, a colored woman, expressed her gratitude at being classed with American Women and could see no reason for the foreign prefi x in “Afro-American.

“We are not African American or Irish or German American. Being born here, we are Americans. And I, a person of color, have just as much right to claim that as any white woman or man.”

Schaaf ’s research tells us, “Naomi Bowman was born in Michigan City Indiana in 1843 into a free black family. Her parents, Elijah and Guilley Bow-man, moved to Michigan City from Ohio just six years after Michigan City’s incorporation.”

Anderson’s parents began her education at home since at the time, public schools were prohibited from enrolling black students. Apparently, she was quite a poet, and her writing skills attracted the attention of local school authorities who made an exception, allowing her to attend the public school.

A sketch of Naomi Anderson.

When she was 20, Anderson married William Tal-bert, a barber from Valparaiso. At this point, she must have become politically aware and decided to turn her interest into activism. She was invited to speak at the fi rst Women’s Rights Convention in Chicago in 1869. There, she boldly expressed her feelings, stating, “What is the difference between a slave and a free man other than the rights one has? And black women have no more rights now than they had before the abolition of slavery.”

Schaaf continues her account. “In the weeks fol-lowing, her speech was published in major news-papers throughout the country, at a time when very few newspapers were giving a voice to women, and especially to women of color. That in turn made her a public fi gure and opened a door to her editorials and poetry being published in major newspapers for the rest of her life.”

raised a family, founded several orphanages, helped establish fair working conditions for women in the sewing industry, provided education and training for women in business.

“She founded the fi rst Kansas chapter of the La-dies Auxiliary of the GAR (Grand Army of the Re-public), an association of women whose family mem-bers fought and died in the American Civil War, and was elected delegate from her state to a NAWSA (National American Women’s Suffrage Association) conference.

“She led a campaign for women’s suffrage in Cali-fornia for six months on a lecture circuit with Susan B. Anthony. She was elected delegate from Kansas to the Congress of Women of the Ottawa Chautauqua and spoke at the Afro-American Congress Conven-tion where she received a standing ovation.”

Only in America are such things possible.

In this year of celebrating the his-tory of women’s rights in America, Webster and Schaaf invite everyone to learn more about the women’s movement, and to celebrate the year by attending one or more of the educational events planned.

In an “Emancipation Day” ad-dress, Naomi Anderson expressed her faith, her view of history, and her hope for the future.

“Woman has a power within her-self, and the great God that reigns above, who furnished Abraham Lincoln with knowledge to write the emancipation proclamation whereby four million blacks were set free – That God — our God, is with and for us, and will hear the call of woman, and our rights will be granted and she shall be permit-ted to vote.”

Naomi Bowman Talbert became involved in the Prohibition movement in the 1870s after the family moved to Ohio. She joined the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union, writing harsh articles describ-ing the demoralizing effects of alcohol abuse on peo-ple of color. She was especially concerned with the lack of education — a root cause of the problem.

After her husband became ill, Naomi took the job of a professional hairdresser to support the family. She also went to school and obtained a teaching li-cense, proving anything is possible to one who sees the possibilities, and works hard to make a life for those they love. During this time, she continued to write editorials and opinion letters to various edi-tors about the evils of liquor.

William Talbert died in 1881, and the redoubtable Naomi Bowman Talbert married Lewis Anderson in 1881. The family moved to Wichita, Kan., during what was called the Black Exodus: the fi rst large mi-gration of blacks from the South after the Civil War.

Naomi Bowman Talbert Anderson fi nally moved to Sacramento, Calif., af-ter Lewis Anderson died. She continued working and writing there until her death at age 56 in 1899.

Schaaf brings her ac-count to a close, “Naomi Andersen not only advo-cated nationally and locally for women’s suffrage, basic rights for African-Ameri-cans and temperance. She

STYLES THAT SUIT YOU NATURALLY

March 5, 2020THE

“The Invisible Man” doesn’t exactly rewrite the horror playbook. It’s “Sleeping With the Enemy” with jumpscares. You know the kind. It’s dead quiet, then, BANG, a loud noise rattles you in your seat.

But “The Invisible Man” could not be more now. Feminist horror for the #metoo era. A monster movie where the victim is the hero, not the monster. And thanks to smart work by writer-di-rector Leigh Whannell and a bravura performance by Elisabeth Moss (Hulu’s “The Handmaid’s Tale”), this is one tense thrill ride.

Whannell helped create the “Saw” and “Insidious” franchises, but fear not. “The Invisible Man” is refresh-ingly subdued and unusually quiet.

Agonizing silence, in fact, is Whannell’s greatest ally during the prolonged open-ing sequence as Cecilia Kass (Moss) tries to fl ee the house of her abusive boyfriend, Adrian (Oliver Jackson-Co-hen, Netfl ix’s “The Haunting of Hill House”), as he sleeps. She has carefully planned the escape, with clothing, money and other essentials stashed away. Any sound could break the stillness. And when missteps occur, the sounds are like hysterical sucker-punches to the au-dience’s senses.

(You’ll never look at a dog dish the same way.)Cecilia does make it out, stashed away by her

sister, Emily (Harriet Dyer), with longtime friend James Lanier (Aldis Hodge) and his daughter, Syd-ney (Storm Reid). When it appears Adrian has com-mitted suicide, Cecilia believes she can fi nally start over. Signs pop up, though, that Adrian not only is alive, but also still tormenting her, even though she can’t see him.

Ever since H.G. Wells’ science-fi ction novel fi rst arrived on the big screen back in 1933, with Claude Rains in the title role, many a fi lmmaker has emp-tied out the piggy bank to prove how far special effects have come. Think Paul Verhoeven’s trashy “Hollow Man” (2000). But Whannell, working with a $7 million budget, uses his effects sparingly. And by placing a feminist spin on the material, he has no interest in telling Adrian’s story. The fi lm belongs to Cecilia. “The Invisible Man” shows how domes-

tic abuse is about control, about robbing the victim of identity. Manipulation is reinforced through fear and violence.

Visually, Whannell has fun toying with expecta-tions. His camera pans around Cecilia’s surround-ings so we see what she sees. Could Adrian be lurk-

ing by? That is what propels the queasy tension, and Moss is sensational: brittle at fi rst, fearful of leaving the house, then slipping into potential mad-ness as no one believes her claims that Adrian is stalking her. By the end, the actress is carefully modulated rage and release: reclaiming her iden-tity, on her own terms.

Cecilia’s climactic encounter with Adrian isn’t ex-actly a big twist, but the fi nal shot is empowering. No cheap blood or gore. Instead, strength. A blazing look of power.

“The Invisible Man” is smart, scary and satisfy-ing. A knockout.Contact Andrew Tallackson at [email protected]

Loosely based on the life of Gyp-sy Rose Lee, the show introduces Mama Rose (Caroline Rau), a strong-willed stage mother who will stop at nothing to make her two daugh-ters vaudeville stars. She starts by showcasing Baby June (Teagen Ben-nett) on the vaudeville circuit, with Baby Louise (Goldie Samardja) as her backup dancer. She meets Her-bie (Tom LeDonne), who falls for her many charms.

The youngsters transform into Dainty June (Lillybelle Nuest) and Louise (Brittney Urban), still doing the same dance routines. Longing to move on, June elopes with Tulsa (Donavan Barrier), a dancer in the show, and makes it big in Hollywood as actress June Havoc. Other char-acters include Tessie Tura (Courtney Mason), Miss Mazeppa (Amanda Sixbury) and Miss Electra (Kristin Allison).

The cast also includes Denise Bar-kow, Tatum Haynes, Mara Hunery-ager, Chloey Landis, Thom Nelson, Jed Otterson, Ryan Otto, Gabrial Remson, Ella Taylor, Toby Taylor, Rick Valle, Re-becca Waldron, Katelyn West, Charlotte Wildfang and Adam Wogoman.

New LCA ExhibitAn opening reception for “Round Hole/Square

Peg,” the latest Lubeznik Center for the Arts exhib-it, debuts with an opening reception from 5 to 8 p.m. Friday, March 6.

The exhibit pres-ents a range of con-temporary artists whose works in-terweave personal stories with current events to present a model for choos-ing positivity and compassion. Fea-tured are Lisa Ma-rie Barber, Phyl-lis Bramson, Erin Hayden, Cody Hud-son, Janis Kanter, Sheida Soleimani, Chris Uphues, Car-oline Wells Chan-dler and Wendy White.

“It’s really interesting to see how artists of mul-tiple age groups and genders address these issues,” Exhibition Director Lora Fosberg said in a press release. “Most start from a point of positivity; mak-ing the work exceptionally approachable, and then revealing the angst in their subject matter.”

At the reception, light bites and a cash bar are planned.

A free curator-led tour is at 11:30 a.m. Saturday, March 14. The exhibit runs through June 6.

Is CBD Right For You?Why would anyone buy a medication or OTC product

anywhere other than a pharmacy? CBD is very much a

product that poses questions that should be asked and

answered. Our pharmacists and pharmacy staff feel as

though we are better suited to answer those questions

concerning their health as well as medication interactions.

That’s the main difference to consider before you buy CBD

anywhere. We also send ours to an independent lab for

testing. I want to know what I’m selling to the public is the exact concentration that is in our

bottles. Check with any other retailer and ask to see their lab testing besides from the company

of which they purchased their product. If you look on any website concerning the vast array of

CBD oils you will see that our CBD MD is #1 in value (pricing) and number #2 in efficacy which

speaks volumes when you see how many products are available.

March 5, 2020 Page 19THE

March 5, 2020THE

When will I come to peace with the fact that a perfect Stephen King adaptation is rare, that the ride from page to screen is rocky at best?

HBO is nearing the conclusion of its 10-episode adaptation of “The Outsider” (2018), King’s propul-sive police procedural with a supernatural twist. Actor Jason Bateman (“Arrested Development”), a huge King fan, directed and starred in the fi rst two episodes, while also serving as series executive director. He attracted a stellar cast that includes Ben Mendelsohn (“Captain Marvel,” “Ready Player One”), Oscar-nominee Cynthia Erivo (“Harriet”) and Julianne Nicholson (“Togo”), and the great Ameri-can novelist-screenwriter Richard Price (“Clockers,” “The Wire”) to adapt it.

It is smart, engrossing and carefully paced. And, it is about three episodes too many, a considerable chunk of it the invention of Price. As the series mid-section steadily deviated from the novel, I did what always happens when things get changed.

I shut down.Why do I do this? When will I reconcile the fact

that fi lm and television are different beasts from lit-erary works? That any book adaptation may require some tinkering so its succeeds in its own right.

Maybe I’m being too hard on myself. Aren’t we bibliophiles guilty of such behavior? A book is a win-dow to the imagination. The author envisions a spe-cifi c world, and a picture crystallizes in our mind of how the characters should look or speak, what their surroundings resemble, how the outcome makes us feel. And when dealing with horror and the super-natural, what the mind conjures often is far more terrifying than what fi lm or TV can achieve.

The visual medium, however, has the luxury of brevity. You can show in a matter of seconds what the author spent paragraphs etching in detail. Kev-in Kwan’s “Crazy Rich Asians,” for instance, fea-tured endless descriptions of ridiculously expensive clothes, jewelry and accessories. No need for that in Jon M. Chu’s 2018 adaptation. Show a character dressed to the nines, and the fi lm achieves the same effect as the book, that these characters are loaded.

So let’s talk about “The Outsider.” King, who en-joys spinning lengthy yarns, explored a tantalizing premise: How can one person be accused of commit-ting a heinous crime, yet all evidence points to him being someplace else when it happened?

That’s what confounds Oklahoma police detective Ralph Anderson, who makes a public spectacle of arresting Little League coach Terry Maitland, right in the middle of a game, after numerous witnesses connect him to the hideous death of an 11-year-

old boy. It is only after the arrest that Maitland, a teacher, is seen on video at a conference with other educators, in another state, at the precise moment the boy was killed. The damage now done — the lives of Maitland’s family, the family of the slain boy, forever decimated — Ralph is determined to clear Terry’s name, even as his investigation uncov-ers dark possibilities.

King linked “The Outsider” to his Bill Hodges trilogy — “Mr. Mercedes,” “Finders Keepers,” “End of Watch” — through the quirky character of Holly Gibney, a woman in Ohio with Asperger syndrome who becomes Hodges’ right-hand gal in investigat-ing a serial killer. King, in interviews, admitted he wasn’t ready to leave Gibney behind, that her jour-ney wasn’t over. So, in “The Outsider,” authorities in Oklahoma turn to her, and her innate investigative abilities, to assist them with the probe into Mait-land’s death. Gibney is the impetus for uncovering

the supernatural element at play.For the fi rst four episodes of the HBO series, Price

follows King’s tale to the letter. Uncanny, really, how succinctly Price, in adapting the novel, realizes the author’s work. Scene after scene unfolds exactly as you envisioned it, allowing breathing room for the police probe to inch forward. The actors dissolve into their roles with force. Mendelsohn, as Ralph, is appropriately somber, incredulous of any super-natural link to the crime. I especially like Nicholson as Maitland’s wife: a pitch-perfect depiction of rage and frustration.

Erivo’s fi erce interpretation of Gibney represents creative licensing on the show’s behalf. Tricky, in fact. For those who caught the AT&T Audience adaptation of “Mr. Mercedes,” Justine Lupe (“The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel”) steered the character closer to King’s vision: sweet, well-meaning, social-ly awkward. “The Outsider,” however, is not inter-

“The Outsider”: A Case Study in Killing Timeby Andrew Tallackson

Ben Mendelsohn stars as Det. Ralph Anderson and Cynthia Erivo as Holly Gibney in HBO’s “The Outsider.”

ested in linking itself to “Mr. Mercedes,” nor can it assume HBO viewers previously watched a series on a different network. So, it affords Erivo the free-dom to spin the character as she likes. What she creates is a savant-like woman, robotic in demean-or, whose eyes pierce through those she encounters. This is not a character who embraces levity. The performance grows on you. Erivo has created some-thing rare for a crime-thriller: a woman who is the smartest person in the room, who doesn’t allow so-cial grace, social cues, to stand in the way of her investigation.

But right as the horror elements come into play, “The Outsider” stretches the premise beyond what King wrote. The show wants to convey a longer his-tory for the dark force at work. So, Price introduces a host of new characters, or exposes previously ex-isting characters to threats not present in the book. The momentum ebbs and fl ows. Episodes start to feel like fi ller. Padding.

What happened? My theory is, with “Game of Thrones” offi cially over, HBO needs a hit. Or, more to the point, a new “franchise.” “Watchmen” post-ed solid numbers. “His Dark Materials” did not. It craves a series that gets people talking, that lasts long enough episode-wise to build an audience, to prove its staying power. So, in the case of “The Out-sider,” HBO ordered 10 episodes when, in all likeli-hood, it only should have been fi ve or six. However, the series is the channel’s fi rst word-of-mouth hit in some time. It has ordered a second season of “The Outsider,” which means all new material.

My point is this: Why not honor King by staying true to his work? Why stretch it out? HBO can still have a hit on its hands with a limited series event. But instead, it wants the next big thing, and appar-ently, “The Outsider” is it.

There is a reason King remains one of America’s most beloved authors. He taps into middle-class fears with instantly identifi able characters. Even in epic-sized tales like “It” or “Under the Dome,” ev-erything in the story serves a purpose.

“The Outsider” is good. Very good. I’ve been enter-tained. But by episode six, it was time to quit fart-ing around and get to the good stuff.

Barker Students Advance to ContestFour Barker Middle School students will advance

to the National History Day in Indiana State Con-test after the Feb. 22 Northwest region competition.

The event, held at John Young Middle School, Mishawaka, included about 200 students from Elkhart, Kosciusko, LaPorte, Marshall and St. Jo-seph counties. The state event is Saturday, April 25, at the Eugene and Marilyn Glick Indiana History Center, the Indiana State Government Center Con-vention Center and Indiana State Library.

The Barker students are:• Landen Hall and Hayden Jones, whose project,

“Michigan City and the Underground Railroad,” appeared in the junior division group website cat-egory.

• Tessa Monger and Brayden Westphal, whose proj-ect, “George Rogers Clark Campaign,” appeared in the junior division group documentary category.NHDI is a yearlong program designed to enhance

history education in Indiana’s schools. Students in grades four through 12 explore a historical subject that fi ts under the annual theme. This year’s theme is “Breaking Barriers in History.”

MCAS Wall of Fame NominationsMichigan City Area Schools is seeking nomina-

tions for the 2020 Wall of Fame. The annual award, fi rst presented in 1976, hon-

ors former school employees who made outstanding contributions to MCAS children. Employees from every area are eligible: administrators, custodians, food-service personnel, instructional assistants, maintenance personnel, paraprofessionals, teach-ers, transportation staff and secretarial staff.

To qualify, the candidate must have been em-ployed by MCAS for a minimum of 15 years. Spe-cial circumstances may be considered for those not meeting the 15-year requirement due to hardship or death.

Candidates also must have been retired or sepa-rated from the school system for at least fi ve years. Because retirees occasionally are called back to ser-vice, the date of separation is considered the offi cial retirement date, not including subsequent MCAS employment. Employees from schools that were in-dependent before school reorganization, as well as those from schools no longer in existence, also are eligible. Death does not make someone ineligible.

All applications remain on fi le for three years. At the end of that time, candidates must be re-nominat-ed. Forms are available at all school offi ces, the MCAS Administration Building and Michigan City Public Library. The form and a complete list of past recipi-ents are available at http://EducateMC.net/WOF.

The submission deadline is 4 p.m. Friday, March 27. Contact Betsy Kohn at (219) 873-2000, Ext. 8365, or email [email protected] for addition-al information.

24 meeting, the fi rst at the gallery, 803 Franklin St.Program chairwoman Sue Cassler hosted an eve-

ning of Broadway music, with selections from 20 productions between 1935 and 2018.

Ange Benz and Deborah Beien welcomed attend-ees, singing the theme from “Cabaret” and “Consid-er Yourself” from “Oliver!,” respectively. Clarinetist George Maslankowski, accompanied by Bev Griffi th on piano, played standards written by George Ger-shwin, Cole Porter and the team of Rodgers and Hart between world wars.

From Rodgers and Hammerstein’s “Oklahoma!,” Beien performed “Oh!

Laura Meyer performed “To Keep My Love Alive” from “A Connecticut Yankee” and a duet from “Guys and Dolls” with Tom LeDonne and accompanied by pianist Lee Meyer. Carrie Lynn Zerbe and LeDonne each shared songs from “The Apple Tree” (Bock and Hamick).

Casorio and Gene Hwang sang selections from Andrew Lloyd Webber’s “Cats” and “The Phantom of the Opera,” as well as “Jekyll & Hyde” (Wildhorn and Bricusse). Representing 21st century produc-tions, Dan Moser sang “Coffee Shop Nights” from Kander and Ebb’s “Curtains,” and dressed as Olaf the snowman for “In Summer” from Disney’s “Fro-zen.” Cassler invited audience participation in a medley from “Beautiful: The Carole King Musical.” Sheila Pollock’s hosting committee provided hors d’oeuvres for social hour afterward.

The Women of the Copper Country by Mary Doria Russell (hardcover, $27 retail in bookstores and online; also available as an eBook. 334 pages)

What’s the worst thing that happened to you to-day? Chip a nail? Water heater broke while taking a shower? This book will take you back to the early 20th century and show you what a bad day — a bad life — is really all about…

We all know about “his”tory and the deeds of great men, but I want to offer you a read about “her”story. It will touch your heart and your sensibilities. This book focuses on a woman who put personal needs and safety aside to make a stand for a cause she be-lieved in. She was big in stature and big in heart, and you, like me, probably never heard of her before. Let me introduce you to Annie Cle-ments.

It is 1913 in the Upper Penin-sula of Michigan, in a small town near Lake Superior called Calumet in the Keweenaw Peninsula. The story is told as historical fi ction, bringing home more clearly the emotional impact of the place and circumstances — and it succeeds in spades.

This part of the U.P. is known as copper country because of the enor-mous amount of the metal found in the rich minefi elds. It’s a rough life, many hours spent underground in the dark, breathing in dust and working six days a week for minimum pay. It’s also a very dangerous job. Men die every day, but the mine owners are looking for big profi ts, not money spent on safety devices.

Workers all over the country are rising up and demanding the companies recognize labor unions. Their motto is “Stand together or die alone…That’s the working man’s choice.”

But the mine owners and even the government don’t want to consider the necessity of labor unions. Still, labor strikes are springing up all over the country, and The Calumet and Hecla Mining Com-pany of Calumet is about to get a rude awakening. They are about to learn more than they want to know about Annie Clements…

Annie is a hard woman to ignore, mostly because she stands 6’1”. Her husband, Joe, is 6’4”. They have no children, and Joe works in the copper mine. They take in three Italian boarders to add to their meager income.

Growing up, Annie’s parents taught her “a life lived for others is a life well lived.” She tries to live

up to those words, helping out neighbors as much as she can — taking food to the sick, sitting with a new widow, even though the town is a melting pot of many cultures and ethnicities, and many can’t speak English. But women have a way of communi-cating with each other no matter the language, and they soon accept Annie’s counsel and leadership.

She organizes the Women’s Auxiliary to the Western Federation of Miners, scheduling marches,

raising money, gathering food and clothing for those in need. Charlie Miller, a union organizer, comes to town in 1913 with ideas and mon-ey to help the copper miners unite. Many are still fearful of joining the union; they know there will be re-percussions by the mine owners if the union fails.

Miller soon sees Annie’s infl u-ence on the town, and the appear-ance of Michael Sweeney, a free-lance photographer, is a godsend for free publicity.

Consider this image: Annie’s tall frame at the head of a parade, carrying a large American fl ag, which soon earns her the nick-name “America’s Joan of Arc.” The Calumet story and photos of Annie soon appear on the covers of news-papers all over the country.

It isn’t long before the general manager of the mine calls in a large group of strike-breakers, all under the auspices of the sheriff ’s carefully turned head. Add the Michigan Guard, sent in by the governor of Michigan, and you have a recipe for disaster.

Through it all, Annie remains steadfast, although her husband continues working for the mine and refuses to join the union. By the end of the year, two horrendous events will shake Calumet to its core — a bloody confrontation and a horrifi c fi re lead to many deaths — and even Annie will have to decide whether she has been doing the right thing, or just fooling herself all along.

Annie’s story was made for Russell: She gives us a clear, personal picture of a strong, dedicated woman who fi ghts for the miners and their families.

Russell’s clear prose enhances the historical pic-ture of the time, showing the everyday lives of the people of Calumet, from babies being born, to min-ers being buried, from happy wedding celebrations to marchers beaten or shot by paid goons. Truly, a story written in the blood of the men, women and children of Calumet — a story not to be forgotten.

Till next time, happy reading!
