Antisemitic attitudes are growing in the State of Wyoming. In an effort to establish greater understanding of American Jewish culture, a grant has been awarded to Penny Wolin and her sponsor, Moby Bookmobile, to give presenations encouraging greater understanding about Jews in America. Her lectures will be based upon two of her monographs, The Jews of Wyoming: Fringe of the Diaspora and Descendants of Light: American Photographers of Jewish Ancestry. Crazy Woman Creek Press has provided 120 copies of Descendants of Light, to be distributed by the Wyoming State Library to all public and private libraries across the State.
