Pioneering folklorist, social activist and writer Stetson Kennedy, of Jacksonville, Fla., will discuss his long and wide-ranging career and explore the theme of “Building Democracy in America” in a talk at the Library of Congress at noon on May 24. This lecture is presented by the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress, part of its Benjamin Botkin Folklife Lecture Series, and cosponsored by Holland & Knight LLP. It will be held in Room 119 of the Thomas Jefferson Building of the Library of Congress, 10 First St. S.E., Washington, D.C.. It is free and open to the public and no tickets are required. Kennedy, 88, is a native Floridian who directed the state’s Folklore Unit of the Federal Writers’ Project for the Works Progress Administration (WPA) in the 1930s. His group conducted unprecedented field research throughout the state that documented hundreds of traditional stories and songs, occupational cultures and many other aspects of Florida’s diverse cultural heritage.
