Join Gal’s Guide Library for a powerful evening celebrating the courage of Madge Oberholtzer, whose deathbed statement was pivotal in dismantling the Ku Klux Klan in Indiana. The event will include a heartfelt presentation of Madge’s life looking at the time she lived, the choices she faced, and the importance of her voice to speak truth to power. Gal’s Guide founder, Riwo, will honor Madge’s enduring spirit and explore how her story continues to evoke the strength and dignity of women. The evening will feature an interview with Madge: the Life and Times of Madge Oberholtzer author Charlotte Halsema Ottinger. The evening will conclude with a Noble Act of Resillance Wellness Workshop led by Lindsay Zehren of Copper Z Creative Wellness. Through creative expression, reflection, and collective healing, this workshop invites participants to engage with this pivotal moment in American history by utilizing art, writing, music, movement, and group dialogue to explore the theme of resilience and how resilience weaves through our modern lives. Whether you’re an artist, activist, or someone seeking to deepen your connection to history, this workshop offers a chance to reflect, create, and heal—strengthening the bonds of resilience within our community.
