Ralph Nader speaks at 2640

Saturday, 14 July 2007
1:00 PM - 3:00 PM

Red Emma's is incredibly pleased to welcome consumer advocate, lawyer, and author Ralph Nader to 2640 for an afternoon's discussion of his latest book The Seventeen Traditions.  The book is a departure from Nader's usual repetoire, focusing on his childhood in Connecticut and the seventeen key traditions he absorbed from his parents, rather than on exposing the evils of modern corporate America. Warmly human, rich with sensory memories and lasting wisdom, The Seventeen Traditions is a kind of modern-day parable of how we grow from children into responsible adults, and a reminder of a time when nature and community were central to the way we all learned and lived.  Local labor educator and community activist Bill Barry will introduce Nader, and members of the United Works Association and The 2640 Project will talk about their ongoing efforts here in Baltimore.  Buy your copy of The Seventeen Traditions at the event and get it signed by Nader, or purchase one ahead of time at Red Emma's!
