Thank you Pat for sharing the story of Anna Mae Weems. Contrary to today’s rollbacks, she was a leader who acted on a vision. Our paths had briefly crossed when I was director of the iowa Civil Rights Commission from 2014-2011. I hope you write more about her courage and dignity. By the way, in recent years, we have lost many icons in Iowa’s civil rights history, including my dear friend Walter Reed from Waterloo. Your writing will help keep her vision, message and spirt alive.
