Making Good Neighbors is a book about the powerful history of the racial and social justice movement in Mt. Airy during the early 1950s, which fought for integration and against redlining in our neighborhood. The book also has a whole chapter on the history of Allens Lane Art Center and the center’s crucial role in this grassroots movement. This talk is free and open to the public!
