Jack Clemo - Public Recognition

Public Recognition

By the age of 65 he had achieved sufficient recognition for a dramatised version of his biography, directed by Norman Stone, to be produced and screened by the BBC in 1981. No tapes of this programme have survived. A few years later a biography of Jack Clemo was written by Sally Magnusson. His portrait was also painted by Tricia Porter in 1975 and is displayed at the National Portrait Gallery in London.

Famous quotes containing the words public and/or recognition:

    In common with other rural regions much of the Iowa farm lore concerns the coming of company. When the rooster crows in the doorway, or the cat licks his fur, company is on the way.
    —For the State of Iowa, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    American feminists have generally stressed the ways in which men and women should be equal and have therefore tried to put aside differences.... Social feminists [in Europe] ... believe that men and society at large should provide systematic support to women in recognition of their dual role as mothers and workers.
    Sylvia Ann Hewitt (20th century)
