ENDOWED FUND PROFILE
DEBORAH BEELER ’64 LECTURE FUND
Springside alumna Rachel Fisher ‘87 was the 2013-2014 Deborah Beeler Speaker. In partnership with Rachel Pasternak, Dr. Fisher produced and directed the film Joachim Prinz: I Shall Not be Silent. The film tells the life story of the famed civil rights figure and rabbi who helped organize the March on Washington in August 1963 and who spoke just prior to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., when he delivered his stirring “I Have a Dream” speech. The hour-long film highlights Rabbi Prinz’s message of not being silent in the wake of injustice and is told through archival footage, memoirs, and the remembrances of his family and colleagues, including Georgia Congressman John Lewis. Dr. Fisher addressed Middle School girls and reunion alumnae about the film’s production and message during her visit.
