The Power of Kindness

Tuesday, December 15, 7:00 p.m. - Northport Public Library

Explore the idea of kindness with Allen Hecht, a member of the National Diversity Council. Allen will discuss “roadblocks” in life that can keep us from being kind - specifically September 4, 1957, when nine African American students tried entering a school and were met by a white mob preventing them from entering. He will explore that event and discuss strategies for getting around the “roadblocks” and to heal the world. No registration is required.
