Growing Up Black in Asheville [1958 – 1962]: One Man’s Perspective, presented by Al Whitesides, County Commissioner, District 1
A presentation honoring Black History Month describing Asheville during the early days of the Civil Rights Movement
Sponsored by the Friends of East Asheville Library
Admission is free, but donations to support the Friends’ work will be greatly appreciated.
One further note: At the recent Kenilworth MLK Celebration, a perceptive woman, Viola Williams, stood and asked, how many there were under 21. Of course, of a huge gathering, there were just a few. “We’re preaching to the choir!” she said. It’s our young who need to hear this.” Thus you might consider bringing your young who you think might be inspired by this program
