“Attorney and human rights activist Fern Holland will be remembered for her life’s work and the lives she touched with an annual memorial week in her honor that begins Monday.
The week will culminate Saturday with a 5K race named for the local activist from Bluejacket whose life was stripped away at age 33.
“Fern’s main goal in life was justice for humanity,” Community Crisis Center executive director Deedee Cox said. “She was very struck by the great discrepancies in justice for humanity around the globe.
