Upcoming Event

On Tuesday, February 21 at 1 pm Town of Macedon Historian, June Hamell, will discuss the books contained in the Bullis Book Library pertaining to Black history.  We will look at the materials, their contents, who brought them into the collection, etc.   From 12 Years a Slave to Frederick Douglass and on to Booker T. Washington, we will look at some of the somber history contained within the Bullis Collection.  This photo shows a large portion of the items in the collection.  We will not be able to cover all of these but will be able to comment on most.  When you look at these items on display in the Bullis Collection please remember that you can't judge a book by its cover.  These books have been through fire and water!!  

The presentation will also be made available on the “Macedon Public Library: Connecting People and Ideas” Facebook page for viewing following the presentation.  Registration is not required.  History teachers and those in the field of education are encouraged to attend along with all who have an interest in history including students.
