Join your Library to celebrate Black History Month in February. 

Special Program:
Black actor with hands extended
1619: The Journey of a People
Sunday, 2/16, 1:30-2:30 PM 

Celebrate Black History Month with this dynamic theatrical experience featuring playwright, professor, and performer Ted Williams III. On August 20, 1619, twenty enslaved Africans arrived in Jamestown, Virginia. The 400-year journey that followed would change a nation and the world. This one-man show packs generations of history into an hourlong performance that commemorates the struggles, recognizes the heroes, and critically analyzes the American journey towards freedom and equality.
