A Thanksgiving Tale is the triumphant story of unity in diversity. A small town’s successful battle to overcome a factory owner’s poisonous pollution, stonewalling, indifference, and legal skirmishes-fiction based on actual events. When grime, slime, and time adversely affected the inhabitants, a group of concerned citizens of different social and ethnic backgrounds banded together to protect human life and the environment. A Native American, Mayflower and slave descendants, European and Chinese immigrants, and others, all fought side by side. They used many forms of human ingenuity and cooperation,
With tenacity and joy, they created a model for America. A modest proposal for an evolving, all-encompassing celebration of Thanksgiving and our many blessings.
A Thanksgiving Tale is about an inclusive, reinvigorated Thanksgiving holiday, celebrating the gifts we take for granted: our melting pot, clean water, fresh air, freedom of the press, the rule of law, and science.
