Establishing the FRANCES PERKINS CENTER
http://www.francesperkinscenter.org/index1.html
[excerpt]
To remember Frances Perkins and revitalize her vision, we hope to establish the Frances Perkins Center at her family place on the Damariscotta River on the coast of Maine. The center would provide a place for students, scholars, and policy-makers to research and write about subjects related to and inspired by Perkins' dedication to improving the lives of working men and women.
Special Event
Please join the Newcastle Historical Society for an evening on Frances Perkins's life and work
Featuring KIRSTIN DOWNEY*
