SUMMARY:Celebrate Black History Month: Film Screening and Discussion : "Out of Obscurity"
DESCRIPTION:Out of Obscurity details one of the many little known\, but 
 nonetheless important\, episodes in civil rights history. In the 1930s 
 public facilities were segregated throughout the South. There were separate 
 schools and restaurants for blacks and whites. Blacks weren't even allowed 
 to try on clothes in many department stores. Some places had three 
 restrooms\; one labeled "white ladies\," another "colored women" and the 
 third for "white men." Blacks were banned from using the libraries. 
 Recognizing the importance of public libraries as centers of information 
 and a place where poor people could educate themselves\, a handful of brave 
 youths decided to challenge this banand learn about desegregation in a 
 library in Alexandria\, Virginia in 1939.\n\nFor more details on the film:
