95-year-old
political activist
“Granny D”
to speak at
Manchester on Nov. 7
Doris “Granny D” Haddock, who has walked thousands of miles
across America on a crusade for campaign reform and voter registration,
is traveling to Manchester College to deliver the weekly convocation on
Monday, Nov. 7. Neighbors of the college are invited but seating is
limited for her speech, which begins promptly at 10 a.m.
"Granny D"
also will speak at 3 p.m. in the Assembly Room of Timbercrest Retirement
Community, in an event coordinated by the North Manchester Shepherd's
Center.
Haddock, famous for her 3,200-mile trek across deserts, up mountains and
through snow in 1999 at the age of 89, will discuss campaign finance
reform. Granny D's visit to Manchester College is financed by
Plowshares, a Lilly Endowment-funded collaboration of Indiana’s three
historic peace campuses, Manchester, Earlham and Goshen colleges.
Her memoir, published by Random House, is entitled, “You’re Never Too
Old to Raise a Little Hell.” Washington, D.C., knows her well for her
rallies, walking fasts and demonstrations. For more about Granny D,
