This Satuday at 7 pm The Books 4 Prisoners Crew will be hosting the first annual Robert F. Williams Day at Hobo Bookstore (4040 Hamilton Ave) in Northside.
Robert Franklin Williams (February 26, 1925-October 15, 1996) was a civil rights leader, author, and the president of the Monroe, North Carolina NAACP chapter in the 1950s and early 1960s. At a time when racial tension was high and official abuses were rampant, Williams was a key figure in the American South and organized armed resistance against white supremacy.
We will be showing Negroes with Guns, a documentary film by Sandra Dickson and Churchill Robert about Williams' life and work.
Suggested asking price is $3 but no one will be turned away due to lack of funds.
