Girl Without a Country tells the compelling, confounding story of Martha Graber―a Mennonite, registered nurse, and conscientious objector who in 1929 was twice denied citizenship because she refused to say she would take up arms to defend the United States. The denials, which came despite Martha's pledge to give her life for her adopted country, caught the attention of a diverse group of peace advocates, religious leaders, lawyers, and politicians, setting up a climactic third court appearance that was covered by newspapers nationwide.Martha’s nineteen-month fight for citizenship features dramatic testimony, historical insights, and interesting backstories that stretch from Alsace-Lorraine in western Europe to America’s heartland. Elegantly written by Martha’s maternal grandson with never-before-published details and closely connected with a controversial Supreme Court decision, Girl Without a Country surfaces an array of topical issues, ranging from pacifism and patriotism to immigration and conscientious objection. Perhaps most importantly, Martha’s story considers what it truly means to be an American. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/south-portland/an-afternoon-with-rick-ramseyer/100001994826498757 - **Event Categories**: fitness, Art, Entertainment, Theatre, performances - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 2 hours - Location: Books-A-Million - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: South Portland - **state**: ME - **country**: United States - **location**: Books-A-Million - **lat**: 43.636048 - **long**: -70.3332157 - **full address**: Books-A-Million, 430 Gorham Road, South Portland, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: An Afternoon with Rick Ramseyer - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/5ae84c36ab3ed75cce0c46bd8de86309e8e5439cc245cdef0b189c61982e7992-rimg-w1200-h600-dcffffff-gmir.jpg?v=1784766790 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is An Afternoon with Rick Ramseyer being held? - **A:** An Afternoon with Rick Ramseyer takes place on Sat, 24 Oct, 2026 at 01:00 pm to Sat, 24 Oct, 2026 at 03:00 pm at Books-A-Million, 430 Gorham Road, South Portland, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing An Afternoon with Rick Ramseyer? - **A:** An Afternoon with Rick Ramseyer is organized by Books-A-Million. - **Q**: What has been the experience of attendees at Books-A-Million's events? - **A:** Attendees have given Books-A-Million a rating of 4.67/5 based on reviews from early attendees on AllEvents.
