Reaching Out for Liberty and Light: The Life of Frances Payne Bolton
We are honored to present a limited showing of a special documentary about the life of Frances Payne Bolton. Winner of the Bronze Telly and Crystal Award of Excellence, you will be captivated by her eloquence, humanity, philanthropy, and patriotism.
Through her 28-year service in Congress, she helped to shape many of the defining moments of her era, influencing national policy and transforming the nursing profession during WWII. In contrast to the shining aura of her public role, Frances Bolton's private life was shadowed by tragedy. You may recognize the parallel to current events as you learn of her extraordinary personal loss during the 1919 pandemic. She also advocated for social justice and against racial discrimination, and was decades ahead of her time in what would become the modern civil rights movement.
This documentary, narrated by five-time Tony Award nominee, Dana Ivey, draws from old letters, photos, newsreels, home movies, and interviews with many people whose lives were personally and magnificently affected by our school's namesake, Frances Payne Bolton.

Diversity Book Club Discussion: "Americanah" by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
Facilitated by FPB Diversity and Inclusion Task Force members, Janna Kinney, MSN, RN, CCRN and Dedra Hanna-Adams
Ifemelu and Obinze are young and in love when they depart military-ruled Nigeria for the West. Beautiful, self-assured Ifemelu heads for America, where despite her academic success, she is forced to grapple with what it means to be Black for the first time. Quiet, thoughtful Obinze had hoped to join her, but with post-9/11 America closed to him, he instead plunges into a dangerous, undocumented life in London. Fifteen years later, they reunite in a newly democratic Nigeria, and reignite their passion—for each other and for their homeland.
