This event is free and open to the general public: please come and explore connections between the historical events that surrounded Anne Moody’s novel, “Coming of Age in Mississippi,” and the compelling issues we still face today around race, injustice and discrimination both locally and globally. We’ll look at activism, then and now, as Shoreline commemorates the 50th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Bill and celebrates the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King.
