OTHER ACTIVITIES OF INTEREST Thursday, March 18
Mabel Norris Reese: Fearless Voice for Truth In celebration of Women's History Month, the Orange County LWV and the Orange County Regional History Center offers this presentation honoring Mabel Norris Reese, who fought for justice and civil rights in Lake County. At the helm of the Mount Dora Topic, a small weekly newspaper, she investigated the case of the Groveland Four and other instances of grave injustice. She withstood violent threats, including the firebombing of her home, in her efforts to present the truth and expose her powerful opponents. In 2018, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Gilbert King brought renewed attention to Reese in his book Beneath a Ruthless Sun: A True Story of Violence, Race, and Justice Lost and Found, which followed Devil in the Grove, about the Groveland case.
