DESCRIPTION:Join the Gainsboro Branch Library and Dr. Sara Evers as we

 Birthplace Memorial and Industrial Trade School. We will explore how the 
 founders of the memorial used the life of Booker T. Washington to advance 
 political\, economic\, and social aims for African Americans. We will also 
 share a collection of newly uncovered photographs of the memorial which 
 document the rich history of the memorial and trade school.\n\n \n\nDr.
