As these independent spaces fall by the wayside, the Library is meeting an increasing demand for the use of our space: from Scripps College classes to a panel with Selma James (longtime feminist activist and widow of CLR James), to a film screening on the assassination of Fred

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The histories of community struggle found in the Southern California Library remind us that if we do not tell our own stories, others will tell them for us.
