Feting Ruth Gruber’s Lifetime of Humanitarian Activism

This past Tuesday night, many admirers of Ruth Gruber gathered on the upper west side of Manhattan to fete the great humanitarian and photojournalist. The occasion was the opening of a photo exhibit of her work, which will be up until Feb 25. It was a cold and rainy night but Ruth—who marked her 103rd birthday last October—was on hand, looking happy and beautiful. If you’re in NYC, I recommend you see this exhibit at the JCC on Amsterdam Ave near 76th Street. If you don’t live here or won’t be in the city over the next couple months, I invite you to read the post I’ve just published on The Great Gray Bridge with photos from the reception, like the one of Ruth below. Also, please note, five of the books I’ve published with Ruth over the years are available in new editions from Open Road Integrated Media. Lots of pics, more info, and many pertinent links are assembled at my other blog, The Great Gray Bridge.
