Gillian Grable discusses her book Until We Meet Again: The Life of Jennie Raffield Williams, a work of historical fiction based on a true story. The book chronicles the life of a woman confined for more than 50 years at Central State Hospital in Milledgeville and examines the long-term consequences of institutionalization. Both troubling and deeply moving, the story sheds light on systemic failures in the care and treatment of people with mental and intellectual disabilities. Gillian will be joined by Ruby Moore, Executive Director of the Georgia Advocacy Office, who will add perspective on disability rights and advocacy in Georgia.
