In observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, all DCDL locations will be closed on Monday, January 16. We invite you to join us for a special “after hours” event, Struggle for Freedom: The Life of Dr. King presented by Bright Star Traveling Theatre.
Struggle for Freedom is a 45-minute production that seeks to honor the American Civil Rights Movement. The life and work of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. provide the backdrop to scenes that recreate the Montgomery bus boycott, the March on Washington, the Woolworth Sit-ins and much more. With excerpts from famous speeches, Civil Rights-era songs, and a variety of characters, this acclaimed production has been hailed as one of ‘the finest touring shows available for young audiences.’
The Library will open approximately 30 minutes prior to each program, and will close at the end of the performance.
- Delaware Main Library – Monday, January 16 @ 2:00 p.m.
- Orange Branch Library – Monday, January 16 @ 6:30 p.m.
If you are unable to attend but would like more to learn more about Dr. King’s life and legacy, please check out our Library’s collection of books and films!
