In 1939, five young Black men were arrested for participating in a peaceful sit-in for the right to use the public library in Alexandria, Va.—the first sit-in of its kind. Join us to talk about this little-known demonstration for the right to read 85 years ago. Learn about the courageous youth who demanded access, setting a standard for later civil rights actions. Be inspired by today’s museum and library leaders working to set things right. Reflect on links to today’s book bans and their chilling effects. Featuring interactive activities to help you apply lessons in your hometown.
