- Description:
- Jane Levens was born in Texas in 1931. She grew up in a Democratic family. She became politically active during John F. Kennedy's presidential campaign and has remained relatively active since. She spoke at the Clayton, Ga. rally supporting the Women's March in 2018. On January 21, 2017, millions of people worldwide took part in marches to protest the inauguration of Donald Trump as the President of the United States. The first protest, which took place in Washington, D.C., was known as the Women's March on Washington and was intended as a response to anti-woman rhetoric and beliefs that were espoused during Trump's campaign. While women's and reproductive rights were at the forefront of marchers' concerns, many also protested the racist, anti-immigrant, anti-science, and other controversial sentiments expressed by the incoming Trump administration.
In this interview, Levens discusses growing up in Texas in a predominantly Democratic area. She describes her moves from Texas to Florida and then to Georgia. Levens expresses that throughout her adult life, she has remained politically active through volunteer work. In this interview, she speaks about the Clayton, Ga. rally and her hopes for Democrats in future local elections. - Metadata URL:
