Community Celebrations

Here at the North East Digital Village, we'll do our best to present a new feature or celebration each month. If you think we've forgotten something, or want to contribute to our features, please email us at village@nedv.net

Why do we celebrate something different each month?
We single out one event, one idea or one person and celebrate them or their ideals for one month each year as a way of highlighting the importance of those events or those ideals. For one month, we set aside time and space in our lives to learn something new, or to reach for a deeper understanding.

Sojourner Truth dedicated her life to confronting injustice, and actively working for the abolition of slavery and toward equal rights for women. A slave for her first forty years of life, Sojourner Truth believed she had a mission and a duty to speak out. Now, more than ever, we all need to speak out for freedom and justice. Will you?
