Ms Baez will attend a benefit screening of a documentary about her life, I Am A Noise, in December. During her trip she will also do a reading from her recent book of poems When You See My Mother, Ask Her to Dance at the Seamus Heaney HomePlace in Bellaghy, Co Derry, on December 12th. “For over 60 years Joan Baez has been the voice of civil and human rights struggles around the world and a passionate and consistent proponent of non-violence,” said Art for Human Rights founder and executive director Bill Shipsey. “We are grateful and humbled and cannot wait to meet and greet her. Exactly 47 years ago today I had the privilege of being with her and her late sister Mimi outside San Quentin Prison at a demonstration against the death penalty.
