Reading Sherrilyn Ifill’s book, On The Courthouse Lawn: Confronting the Legacy of Lynching In the Twenty-first Century:
Borrowing in Howard County: *UPDATED HCLTR donated 12 copies of the book to the HCPL system. Unfortunately, the Howard County Public Library system does not own any copies of the book. Our group is working to make copies available for Howard Countians to read. A few of us have purchased copies, and will be placing them into various free community libraries in the hopes that the knowledge will be circulated to the community. Stay Tuned!!
