Opening New Vistas As Malcolm X said, I have often reflected upon the new vistas that reading opened to me. I knew right there in prison that reading had changed forever the course of my life. The book sale will provide that opportunity by offering political and cultural titles not readily available, including pamphlets (50 cents) and thousands of books (most $1 or $2) on political theory, socialism, African-American studies, and more, many drawn from a huge private collection recently given to the Library. To further open new perspectives, on Saturday, July 30, at 2 p.m. Regina Freer, associate professor of politics at Occidental College, will discuss The Next Los Angeles, which combines history, analysis, strategy, and a platform for building a just and livable city. She will also sign the book, which will be available for sale. The schedule on Sunday, July 31, will feature music and art. Free ice cream and other refreshments will also be offered both days. All proceeds from the event will benefit the Library, a social justice peoples library located in South Los Angeles. The Library was founded over 40 years ago and is dedicated to education for social change. For more information about the Library or the event, go to www.socallib.org or call (323) 759-6063.
