<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">The following email just went out on the Oregon Association of School Libraries and I though public libraries may be interested too. Rosa Parks is sometimes called the mother of the freedom movement or the first
lady of civil rights. Considering what’s happening in <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2014/08/13/us/ferguson-missouri-town-under-siege-after-police-shooting.html?_r=0">
Ferguson, MO</a> right now, it might be a good time to create a display of library material about the civil rights movement—including Rosa Parks. Books can be a great conversation starter for parents and other adults to talk with children and teens about complex
issues like racism and civil rights. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
