Alice Walker’s Voice of Beauty & Truth
“Once in a while, the world witnesses a voice that taps into utter beauty and truth. Alice Walker’s voice through her writings and poetry and through the essence of the beautiful woman that she is, is one such voice; a voice that has impacted my life and the lives of many women and men so […]
Nobody Asked, But Somebody Told
When Milton resident Jane Lee Watton, known as Lee, watched television coverage of the repeal of the military’s “don’t ask, don’t tell†policy late last year, she and her partner, Sherry Jamarik, a retired Army captain, simply shook their heads in amazement.

Risk Takers and History Makers
