Fundraiser Aims To Honor Neal Cassady With Monument In Denver
"Neal's impact is felt throughout the world through literature," explained Mark Bliesener, who is organizing a monument.
DENVER (CBS4) – Across Denver a prominent figure of the Beat Movement of the 1950s is being remembered. A library exhibit highlights the life of Neal Cassady, as Denver residents work to bring a permanent monument in his honor to a park in the city.
Inside the Denver Public Library on 13th Avenue and Broadway, you’ll find excerpts and photos of Neal Cassady. Alongside Jack Kerouac, the two were major leaders of the Beat Generation that used literature and art to go against social norms, post-war in America.
