"It's important to celebrate the Green Book sites that are here, to learn the history, and to keep reminding folks of what they were and why they are special." - @candacytaylor

Take a closer look at the 1960 edition of The Green Book from the @lapubliclibrary archives with author and cultural documentarian, Candacy Taylor. Her work shines a light on the living history across the nation and in Los Angeles, including historic Green Book sites within the city.

To learn more, check out our special centennial @ALOUDla program highlighting these archives at the link in bio.

Cultural documentarian and author of Overground Railroad, @candacytaylor, walked us through the @lapubliclibrary's premier Green Book collection—a travel guide for Black motorists used for decades when traveling through segregated America. LAPL holds the second largest and one of the best-preserved collections in the world, serving as inspiration for her research. Check out our special centennial @ALOUDla program highlighting these archives with Candacy Taylor in conversation with Tyree Boyd-Pates (@wearenommo) at the link in bio.

💃🎶🌃 Some clips from the first! Don’t miss your chance to celebrate 100 years of the iconic Central Library at the Centennial edition of our after‑hours festival, featuring interactive experiences, surprise performances, music, food, drinks, and more than 200 performers, artists, and storytellers! Few tickets remaining—get yours now at lfla.org/NATL or at the link in bio.

Why does white rage have a grip on our criminal legal system and national media? Sound on to hear thoughts from historian and author Heather Ann Thompson who spoke with ACLU SoCal’s Criminal Justice and Police Practices Director Summer Lacey on the ALOUD stage at the Los Angeles Central Library.

Join Pulitzer Prize-winning author of “James” Percival Everett with former public defender and Partners for Justice co-founder Emily Galvin Almanza to discuss her latest release “The Price of Mercy: Unfair Trials, a Violent System, and a Public Defender’s Search for Justice in America.” Tickets: lfla.org/mercy

The book pulls back the curtain to reveal the dysfunction afflicting our overburdened legal system. From the ‘dirty tricks’ used to inflate police overtime, to the perverse incentives driving prosecutors, Galvin Almanza uncovers how our courts that claim to protect us are doing the exact opposite. More than an exposé; it’s a blueprint for rebuilding our country’s justice system.

Pulitzer Prize-winning historian @historianheather is joined by @aclu_socal’s criminal justice director Summer Lacey to chat about Thompsons’ new book “Fear and Fury: The Reagan Eighties, the Bernie Goetz Shootings, and the Rebirth of White Rage.”

Shedding new light on the social and political conditions which set the stage for the infamous New York subway shooting of 1984, Thompson masterfully explores a throughline that connects Goetz to “the America of President Donald Trump.” This comprehensive telling of historical events provides another perspective as we consider the issues gripping our nation today.
