This episode is part of my Alabama Pilgrimage series, where I interview friends who traveled with me through the important sites of the Civil Rights Movement. Each episode, one pilgrim shares their memories and reflections from the trip, starting with myself. We hope you will enjoy listening to each of these stories.
Today's pilgrim is Bev Iber. Bev is a gemologist who has a love for Africa. She lived in Kenya for 8 years mining gemstones. She has owned many businesses including the most recent one in Fearrington Village for 21 years. Bev often processes revelations or difficult subjects through the gathering of beads into jewelry that can be worn and used to pass on the message. Bev shares about her life growing up in Texas, as well as the pieces of jewelry she was inspired to make after visiting the Legacy Museum and seeing the haunting 3D images of bodies buried at the bottom of the ocean.
