Stratford Library Exhibit Shows 'The Power Of Diverse Voices'

STRATFORD, CT — The Stratford Library is amplifying diverse voices with a new exhibit.

The library recently debuted the lawn sign exhibit, titled “The Power of Diverse Voices.” The exhibit is a project of the Library Board’s newly formed Anti-Racism Committee, and features select quotations from people of color on over 50 lawn signs outside the library’s Main Street entrance, according to a library news release.

The words of Martin Luther King Jr., Maya Angelou, Oprah Winfrey, Harriet Tubman, Caesar Chavez and many others can be viewed as part of the exhibit. The project is the first of several programs addressing racism and implicit bias to be planned by the library in conjunction with Citizens Addressing Racial Equity, Sterling House Community Center and the Arts Alliance of Stratford.
