Celebrate Black History Month with YCL

"Jackie Robinson:" This 45-minute play highlights some of the best moments of Jackie Robinson's career and his contribution to ending segregation. While inspiring young audiences to stand up for what is right without using violence, Bright Star Theatre also encourages them to find positive role models and use good leadership skills. This play is best appreciated by pre-K to 5th grade and family audiences.

This virtual performance will be available to view via Vimeo until February 15. For more information on Bright Star Theatre, visit www.brightstartheatre.com.

Black History Trivia Quiz: Pick up a Black History Trivia Quiz at any YCL location, complete it, and return it by February 28. We'll notify the winner the week of March 8 to receive a $25 Books-A-Million gift card!
