The City of
Long Beach Public Libraries are not only a resource for information, they are a
venue for education, arts and cultural programming. LBCAA/MusicUNTOLD presented
a theatrical fundraiser, MULATTO
DILEMMA,
Juliette Fairley’s one woman show, October 25, 2009, Found Theater to benefit the Long Beach
Public Libraries. “Many
bi-racial people are caught in between two worlds, tormented by allegiances to
both the black community and the larger white society.” Before the performance, the Long Beach
Central Area Association presented Director of Library Services, Glenda Williams, a check for $1,000.
President John Malveaux said, “I realize the fundraiser will not make a
financial impact, but it demonstrates that the community can play a part to financially
support our Libraries.” See pic Juliette Fairley
