Zoom Call

Join the Diversity and Inclusion Committee for the continued conversation around systemic, institutional racism with a focus this time, specifically on housing and its role in the wealth gap. This review will focus on certain practices - including red-lining and the administration of the GI Bill - that contributed to a significant wealth disparity between whites and POC that persists today. RSVP to coh.di.committee@gmail.com by September 6th for Zoom information. Videos/articles to review in advance can be found on the Village D&I Discussion page here: https://www.crotononhudson-ny.gov/diversity-and-inclusion-committee/page...

Zoom Call

Join the Croton Free Library for a Zoom Presentation and Q&A session on the film Alice’s Ordinary People with its director, Craig Dudnick.

Dudnick, who brought Alice’s story to life in the documentary, will give a one-hour presentation and Q&A on Zoom. The film is available to watch for free through the libraries’ Kanopy streaming service. Check it out here. Patrons are encouraged to watch it before the Zoom program, but the presentation can be enjoyed whether or not you’ve seen it. Click here to sign up now on Zoom.
