My Name is Rachel Corrie

Killed while trying to prevent Palestinian homes from being destroyed in the Gaza Strip, twenty-three year old Washington State resident Rachel Corrie died while trying to find meaning in a complex, chaotic and violent situation. Join us for an evening devoted to the story of this local activist.
