(ROOSEVELT, N.Y.) – Nassau County Legislature Alternate Deputy Minority Leader Debra Mulé (D – Freeport) proudly joined the greater Freeport-Roosevelt community on Sunday, Feb. 15 for the Roosevelt Public Library’s annual Black History Month read-in. During the event, which was led by Carol Gilliam, residents came together to discuss their favorite African American authors and works of literature.
“In every quest for justice and equality, the power of the pen and the written word are indispensable vessels for change, progress and celebrating a community’s unique and beautiful identity,” Alternate Deputy Minority Leader Mulé said. “That is why it is wonderful to see events like the Roosevelt Library’s Black History Month read-in succeed, and I thank Carol for her efforts in bringing this enlightening gathering together each year.”
