HumanLight: Tribute to Joseph Fox
Audio here!
Earlier this year the humanist community lost a friend. “I” lost a friend. Joseph Fox was what we all can hope for in a humanist in America today. He was a giving, compassionate, empathetic person whose work was humble, intentions were pure, and friendships sincere and many. His efforts provided strength and hope.. and built community for freethinkers of all stripes, particularly through his invention – along with fellow humanist Gary Brill – of HumanLight.
HumanLight is a humanist winter holiday which brings the same sense of family and community to freethinkers as religious and cultural holidays bring to the rest of the human family. However, HumanLight is not exclusive as it is open to religious and non-religious persons alike who want to celebrate our common humanity, the importance of science, and the hope for a better tomorrow. Joe Fox will be missed. We had the fortune to have him on ETFF in 2003 to talk about HumanLight and we will play experts of that interview here today. And to recognize Joe’s contribution – HumanLight – we will also play excerpts from the HumanLight spokesperson, and former host of ETFF, Patrick Colucci.
