As we look for updates on the Derek Chauvin trial, the Roxbury Public Library will give us an opportunity on Wednesday, April 28 at 7 p.m. to understand the ways Black people and their allies have organized and fought for freedom, racial equality, and social justice from the periods of enslavement and Reconstruction to the Civil Rights and Black Power Movements.
Partnering with Roxbury Coalition for Social Change (RC4SC), Roxbury Public Library will present as part of its Common Ground series “From Civil War to Black Lives Matter,” featuring lecturer Lillie Edwards, Ph.D., as well as moderator Oliver Starnes.

Belle Schwartz of Succasunna, an avid crafter for years, has been named one of the winners in the Joann’s Fabrics Handmade Heroes contest in recognition of her creation and donation of hundreds of handmade pieces over the last year.
During the coronavirus pandemic, Schwartz, a life-member of National Council of Jewish Women (NCJW), West Morris Section, has been knitting and sewing as a way to help others. Schwartz said, “My knitting needles and sewing have been keeping me busy and sane during these challenging times, and I have truly enjoyed making these pieces and giving them away.”
