Posted in Uncategorized on September 5, 2009 by pwplibraryWe’re thrilled to announce that last week’s Port Washington News ran the article “Port’s African-American Heritage: Library Foundation Supports Project Of the Library’s Local History Center” on its cover!
The article highlighted the touching comments that have been left by the blog’s readers, especially a comment written by Mollie Nixon about her mother, Beatrice Nixon, and the brief oral history transcript available here, at the top right in the “Pages” section.
