Hi! I am Maria McCauley, the Director of Libraries. Learn more about upcoming Library programs and events in my weekly message.

In The White Peril, Omo Moses deftly interweaves his own life story with excerpts from both his great-grandfather’s sermons and the writings of his father, the civil rights activist Bob Moses. The result is a powerful chorus of voices that spans 3 generations of an African American family, all shining a light on the Black experience, all calling fiercely for racial justice. The book launch will include a panel discussion on the theme of family and movement moderated by Tony Clark, co-President of MBK Cambridge. Panelists include: Janet Moses, Omo Moses, Maisha Moses, Taba Moses, and Cambridge School Committee member, Richard Harding. This event is cosponsored by Cambridge Public Library and MBK Cambridge. Registration is required.

Dr. King's enduring legacy teaches us that true allyship requires embracing our shared humanity while actively pursuing meaningful change across racial, ethnic, and social divides. His vision, more relevant than ever as our nation continues to confront issues of equity and access, reminds us that accepting the status quo is not an option. Instead, we must cultivate authentic relationships and take bold action to create lasting positive change. Join us for a panel conversation exploring these timeless principles with distinguished guests Ellen Semonoff, Dr. Andrew King, Dr. Lilly Havstad, Dr. Wayne Altman, Representative Marjorie Decker, and Anthony Galluccio, Esq. This event is cosponsored by Cambridge Public Library.
