SEPTEMBER AND OCTOBER PROGRAMS

ROSA PARKS: FIRST LADY OF CIVIL RIGHTS                         

Sunday, September 23, AT 3:00 P.M.

     On a December day in 1955, this tired seamstress and NAACP secretary refused to give up her seat on a Montgomery, Alabama bus. Rosa Parks’ story will serve to remind all who hear it that we cannot always stand by and observe the status quo. Thanks go to Alex Ford of the American Historical Theatre and the Public Scholars Project of the NJ Council for the Humanities, a State Partner of the National Endowment for the Humanities for bringing us this program.
