Los Angeles County Library Heart & Hand Book Talk Series: The Legacy of Bruce’s Beach Virtual Program
Wednesday, January 19, 2022 at 5.30 pm
Join us for a conversation about the legacy of Bruce’s Beach, and the role of community and media in spreading awareness about social justice issues. Library Director Skye Patrick will moderate an insightful conversation between Dr. Alison Rose Jefferson, historian and author of Living the California Dream: African American Leisure Sites During the Jim Crow Era and Dominique DiPrima, host of First Things First on KBLA TALK 1580. This program will also feature a special appearance from Fourth District Supervisor Janice Hahn, an instrumental leader in the County’s effort to return Bruce’s Beach to its descendants. Manhattan Beach resident and retired educator Dr. Anthony Lee will make remarks about what inspired him to contribute books to the new Los Angeles County Library Bruce’s Beach Commemorative Collection to feature African American experience subject matter that will be unveiled later in 2022.
The virtual event webinar will also be recorded and published on the Los Angeles County Library website. Regular event flyer
