Wilma Dykeman Birthday Celebration

JOIN US as we celebrate with refreshments and a final report about public art for the River Arts District Transportation Improvement Project (RADTIP).

There will be river trivia! Plus live performances. And cake!

This free event is open to the public.

** About Wilma Dykeman **
Wilma Dykeman warned us all of pollution in the French Broad River in her 1955 book “The French Broad.” It was a clarion call to respect our natural world, issued seven years before Rachel Carson’s “Silent Spring,” and the first case ever made that clean water is good for the economy. Wilma also pioneered in the areas of civil rights, women’s rights (including birth control), Appalachian Studies, and GMO’s. She was born on May 20, 1920, just north of Asheville at the head of Beaverdam valley. She died in 2006 at the Keever Solace Center off Sweeten Creek Road. Between these Buncombe County bookends, she lived an extraordinary life filled with books and writing, learning and laughter, social debate and family nurture.
