Join Russell Library for a virtual celebration of minister and civil rights leader, Malcolm X on his birthday May 19 by renowned Hartford storyteller The Greatheart Griot, Andre Keitt, based on the Walter Dean Myers biography, Malcolm X: By Any Means Necessary.
This performance will be followed by a discussion about ways that we can create change in our community.
