Hop aboard the Mobile Museum of Tolerance in the library's parking lot for a 45-minute workshop to explore civil rights in a historical and contemporary context.
Guests will view a documentary featuring numerous American civil rights heroes and draw comparisons between the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950's and 60's with other fights for civil rights throughout U.S. history. Major topics of discussion include discrimination, racism, segregation and nonviolent protest.
The Mobile Museum of Tolerance (MMOT) seeks to inspire students and adults from across the state of Illinois to stand up against hate and foster positive change in their communities. Our workshops have been specially crafted to encourage all age groups, serving schools, faith groups, community organizations, businesses, and more.
