Capture
the Moment: Freedom Riders Teach from
their Experiences
Now a free-lance
writer on a mountain in West Virginia, she expresses the values that brought
her to the Civil Rights Movement as a citizen and "villager"
supporting quality of life initiatives, children’s programs, and
libraries. Joan joined up with B.J.
Gudmundsson in 2004 to collaborate on a documentary film about the life of
Rev. Carl W. Renick, Sr. Since that
time the two have collaborated on many projects and have many more in the
works.
