We recently partnered with the MTA and Governor Cuomo to collect and preserve a portion of the Subway Therapy installation created by Matthew “Levee” Chavez in Manhattan’s Union Square subway station. From now until the inauguration, you can post your own message at our building entrance as part of the special installation Messages for the President-Elect.

‘I always get lost in the library,’ he said, 'no matter how many times I go. In fact, I think I get lost there more, the more that I go. Like it’s getting to know me and revealing new passages.’

1979 Rare pictures of the opening of Boulevard Nights I posted other ones but these ones are not the same these were apparently forgotten about and stored. These young Chicanos & Chicanas wanted to make a point because they felt Hollywood movies were stereo typing and profile casting Mexicans and other people of Spanish speaking descent in movies making them all look like gang members and ignorant people.  This was at the Picwood Theatre on Pico Boulevard during the movies private screening the movie was released a week later.

In 1968, Chicano students in Los Angeles peacefully protested to demand adequate education and an end to the racism that they encountered in textbooks, teachers, academic advisors, and administrators source

We’re excited to announce our first training in partnership with Niche Academy. This is the first in a series of trainings coming to librarians about learning to be better activists for libraries in your communities. If there is something you would like us to teach at the intersection of politics and libraries, let us know!
