Brooklyn author on social justice to give homily at Unitarian Church
Internationally renowned Brooklyn author Daniela Gioseffi has, for more than a half century, devoted her passions to the earth’s health and survival. This Sunday morning, Gioseffi will give a free talk and singing performance at First Unitarian Church in Brooklyn.
Gioseffi, an American Book Award-winning author, is among the first journalists to integrate Deep South television with her work on WSLA-TV in Selma, Alabama. The Ku Klux Klan abused her for her civil rights activism, but even that did not deter her from working for social justice.
Among Gioseffi’s many books is “On Prejudice: A Global Perspective” (published in 1993), which won a World Peace Prize when it was presented at the United Nations that year. The text is used in tolerance teaching worldwide from New York City to Tokyo to London and Madrid.
