(WVIR) - The Jefferson Madison Regional Library system celebrates a century of serving the Charlottesville area this year. Lorenzo Dickerson was among those Wednesday night who helped shine a light on the growth of the system over the last one hundred years. He looks at its segregated past in an upcoming documentary. JMRL Director David Plunkett says while it’s important to celebrate, it’s also vital to understand the past when the library wasn’t a place where “everyone” could gather.
