Celebrating the Third Anniversary of the Sylvia Gaither Garrison Library

On Saturday, November 6th at 10:30am, the Sylvia Gaither Garrison Library will celebrate its third anniversary by screening a film: My Mother's Journey. The film focuses on the life and work of Elizabeth Hampton (1937-1999). In the film, Sam Hampton, the filmmaker, interviews family, friends, and activists who discuss Mrs. Hampton's civil rights activitism in Rochester, New York. In addition to Hampton, the film also discusses Frederick Douglass, a famed son of Maryland, who also used Rochester as a base for his activism, publishing the North Star in that city. Following the film, Hampton will engage the audience in a lively discussion regarding the impact of Mrs. Hampton's work, Frederick Douglass' activism in Rochester, or whatever topic the audience decides to discuss. Come and celebrate with us: http://www.bdmuseum.com/bdm-events.html
