A Room of One's Own was so heartened to witness (and be a part of!) the incredible protests last winter at our capitol. Now, this February, we are happy to bring local photographer and activist Dennis Weidemann for an author appearance and discussion of his beautiful book of photographs of the WI protests!

Personal stories and 150 photos paint an intimate portrait of protesters
as diverse as America itself. From the moving tale of an unsettled
Vietnam vet who finally felt welcomed back to his country, to a
delightful encounter with high school students who skipped class to
support their teachers, these are the faces and stories behind the
largest demonstrations to hit Wisconsin in forty years. Share the
passion, motivations, and humor of these everyday people who marched in
the snow, stood in opposition to their government, and captivated a
nation.
