Tunnell's Boys
|
| | An historical sea novel by Philadelphia author, Tony Junker 
Author-activist George Lakey says about Tony Junker's Tunnell's Boys: I found myself challenged anew: when to fight and by what means? When to question cynically my government's posture and when to join my neighbor's true hopes for democracy? How to express my passion and still listen for the inner voice? This book is for anyone who loves peace and finds "integrity" as much a verb as a noun.

Tricks and Treats: Facilitating Dialogue for Social Change
|
| | The Activist Dialogue facilitated intergenerational dialogue across gaps in the activist community. Read this manual to learn what works when leading dialogue across huge gaps.
Education through dialogue continues to be an effective and empowering technique, judging from this project. It was needed because the bruises sustained by the Philadelphia area during the Republican National Convention hadn't healed; instead, the gap between the generations threatened to become permanent. There was a further gap between campus-based activists and non-college activist youths.
