Bards Alley is thrilled to join Fairfax County Public Library in commemorating the 250th anniversary of the United States with a presentation by local author M.J. O’Brien! He will be at Tysons-Pimmit Regional Library to discuss his most recent book, “The Tougaloo Nine: The Jackson Library Sit-In at the Crossroads of Civil War and Civil Rights.”
Drawing on interviews and detailed research, “The Tougaloo Nine” chronicles a dramatic, three-day civil rights demonstration staged by college students in Jackson, Mississippi. Copies will be available for purchase at the event, which includes a book signing.
