White Plains History Roundtable: Education, Race, and Student Consciousness
Wednesday, April 22, 7:00pm
The White Plains History Roundtable is an educational, participatory, and social event where participants learn about events from White Plains’ past, examine primary source materials from the Library’s White Plains Collection, and engage in discussion with their fellow attendees. This Roundtable will focus on White Plains High School Students’ call for racial justice in 1968 and how White Plains’ tradition of progressive education combined with its legacy of discrimination in economics and housing to impact the course of events. Please join the Librarian for White Plains History and current students from White Plains High School to examine and discuss this rich episode in White Plains History.
Though we will use the presentation as the starting point for our discussion, feel free to bring your questions, stories, curiosity, and knowledge about the topic to share with the group. The Roundtable will last about an hour and there will be refreshments.
