Throughout the spring and summer of 2013, Pennington Public Library will be presenting a series of events as part of the nationwide Bridging Cultures Bookshelf: Muslim Journeys program.  For a full listing of events, materials and resources, please see our dedicated page for the Bridging Cultures programming.

Author and historian Cathy D. Knepper discusses her account of a shocking chapter in American history. In 1948, elderly junk dealer William Horner was murdered in his Trenton shop. Six local  African American men were accused and sentenced to the electric chair. If not for the tireless efforts of Bessie Mitchell, sister of one of the six, the story would have ended there. Well-researched and reading like a detective story, Jersey Justice brings to light a shameful moment in our nation's history, but it also tells the story of a personal battle for social justice that changed America.
