Monmouth County Library Wall Township

You're invited to attend a talk at Wall Township Library on Mother Jones. Free admission. No registration required. Limited seating.
Standing barely 5’ tall with snow-white hair and dressed all in black, the demure image of Irish-born Mary Harris Jones belied her fierce reputation as a champion for workers' rights. 
After emigrating from her native Ireland to escape the Great Famine of 1845, personal tragedies changed the trajectory of her life in America.&nbsp;
Jones turned heartbreak into activism, dedicating herself to workers’ rights and becoming a prominent labor organizer – the proverbial ‘Mother’ of America’s labor movement. Her words are still invoked by union supporters today: “Pray for the dead and fight like hell for the living.”

In this 3-session course, read and discuss spine-tingling tales of poltergeists, haunted castles, supernatural experiences and ancient curses. Perfect for readers who enjoy a touch of the uncanny and want to uncover Ireland’s spooky legacy. Stories will be emailed to you each week.
